Independent evaluation. Clear classification.
Structured, traceable and reliable.
The expert activities in the IT environment serve the independent, technically sound determination, evaluation and documentation of technical, organizational and procedural facts. They differ fundamentally from advisory, operational or project-related activities and are subject to special requirements for neutrality, traceability and transparency.The goal of the expert activity is to present complex IT facts in a structured manner and to evaluate them technically, so that they are also comprehensible and verifiable for non-technical third parties - especially courts, lawyers, clients or decision-making bodies.This page serves the objective classification of IT expertise, the presentation of the underlying roles, delimitations and procedures, as well as the transparent description of the organizational and technical framework within which expert activities take place.
Expert activity requires a clear and traceable separation from other professional roles. In particular, there is a clear distinction from advisory, operational or project-related activities, as well as from interim, line or management functions.The expert activity is carried out in technical independence and is assigned solely to the respective expert person in their evaluation and assessment; it remains unaffected by other entrepreneurial, advisory or operational activities.Organizational, contractual or administrative services serve exclusively the structural processing and have no content-related connection to the expert evaluation or the result of an expert opinion.This clear role and function delimitation is an essential prerequisite for maintaining neutrality, objectivity and traceability of expert findings.
In the field of IT expertise, different forms of expert activities are distinguished. Which form is suitable in a particular case depends on the occasion of the commission, the procedural context, and the requirements of the client or the respective institution.Among the common forms of expert activity are private expert opinions, court expert opinions, and partial or extension expert opinions. In addition, expert opinions can be prepared on clearly defined technical, organizational, or security-related issues.All forms have in common that they serve the structured determination, professional evaluation, and verifiable documentation of a fact. The type, scope, and objective of an expert opinion are clearly defined in advance and form the basis for the expert activity.
The organizational commissioning, contract design, and implementation and billing of expert activities are carried out by VAKT-GmbH. This assumes the administrative and contractual framework conditions of the commission.The technical responsibility for the expert evaluation, assessment, and result presentation lies independently with the respective commissioned expert. The organizational integration has no influence on the content, scope, or result of the expert activity.The type and scope of the expert service are clearly defined and contractually agreed upon in advance. The basis of the activity is always the specifically commissioned examination and evaluation framework, which structures and limits the expert work.This separation between organizational implementation and technical responsibility ensures that the neutrality, independence, and verifiability of the expert activity are always maintained.
If, in the course of an expert activity, technical supplements, partial considerations, or expansions become necessary, further qualified experts can be involved - after prior coordination and explicit approval by the client.In these cases, the order and service documents are supplemented and specified before the involvement of another expert. The involvement of additional expert expertise is carried out exclusively for technical reasons and without influence from third parties on the expert evaluation and assessment.Additional expert services are integrated into the commissioned expert opinion and form a overall expert opinion, which is created and invoiced within the framework of the extended commission. Any resulting changes in costs are transparently presented to the client in the course of the commission extension and recognized by their consent.
The expert activity takes place within a professional framework, which is based on recognized standards and qualification requirements of IT expertise. Such a professional classification is a prerequisite for the objective, traceable, and independent evaluation of complex IT facts.The BISG e.V. – Federal Association for IT Experts and Appraisers provides a structural framework for this purpose. The recognition and qualification of experts are carried out according to the applicable association regulations and serve to ensure professional minimum standards as well as the continuous development of expert methods.Inquiries about expert activities that are addressed to the BISG e.V. can be forwarded to member experts and appraisers for non-binding review within the framework of association activities. A selection, evaluation, or recommendation by the BISG e.V. does not take place in this context.The decision on the acceptance or rejection of an expert activity as well as on any potential commissioning is made exclusively between the client and the respective expert person or the commissioning organization.
