Sacred Byte is Now KBV-Certified

IT in medical practices is becoming increasingly complex, with rising demands for data protection and security. We’re delighted to share that Sacred Byte has successfully obtained KBV certification. This comprehensive credential confirms our expertise in IT security for healthcare facilities, proving our ability to support medical practices in and around Berlin with the highest level of competence.

Details of Our KBV Certification

Our Chief Information Security Officer, Ekkehard Endruweit, received the certification with the test number ISAP/20241121/36/00312024. It’s valid for three years starting November 21, 2024. By awarding this certification, the Kassenärztliche Bundesvereinigung (KBV) confirms that Mr. Endruweit—and consequently Sacred Byte—possess the extensive knowledge and skills required to fulfill the strict requirements of the certification guidelines under § 390 of the German Social Code (SGB V).

What This Certification Means for Our Clients

Similar to Telematics Infrastructure (TI) certification, the KBV certification is a fundamental component in safeguarding sensitive healthcare data. It demonstrates that we, as an IT service provider, meet all necessary regulations and have the latest technical capabilities. For our clients, this translates into the highest level of security and trust when it comes to managing their IT systems.

This new certification perfectly complements our PED (Professional End-User-Oriented Service Provider) certification for the Telematics Infrastructure, obtained in October 2024. Together, these qualifications form the foundation of our holistic approach to IT support for medical practices.

With this combination of expertise and official certifications, we are well-equipped to help medical practices navigate the complexities of modern healthcare IT. At Sacred Byte, we understand the unique challenges that healthcare facilities face in the digital age—and we’re proud to stand by your side as a trusted partner.
