Independent evaluation. Clear classification.
Structured, transparent, and reliable.
Expert activities in the IT field serve the independent, technically sound determination, evaluation, and documentation of technical, organizational, and procedural facts. They differ fundamentally from consulting, operational, or project-related activities and are subject to special requirements for neutrality, transparency, and reliability.The goal of expert activities is to present complex IT facts in a structured manner and to evaluate them technically, so that they are also understandable and verifiable for non-experts - especially courts, lawyers, clients, or decision-making bodies.This page serves the purpose of objectively classifying IT expertise, presenting the underlying roles, distinctions, and procedures, as well as providing a transparent description of the organizational and technical framework within which expert activities take place.
Expert activity requires a clear and transparent separation from other professional roles. In particular, there is a clear distinction from consulting, operational, or project-related activities, as well as from interim, line, or management functions.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, consulting, or operational activities.Organizational, contractual, or administrative services serve solely the structural implementation and have no content-related connection to the expert evaluation or the result of an expert opinion.This clear role and function distinction is an essential prerequisite for maintaining neutrality, objectivity, and transparency of expert findings.
In the field of IT expertise, different forms of expert activities are distinguished. Which form is suitable in a specific case depends on the occasion of the assignment, the procedural context, and the requirements of the client or the respective institution.Common forms of expert activity include, in particular, private expert opinions, court expert opinions, as well as partial or supplementary expert opinions. In addition, expert statements can be prepared on clearly defined technical, organizational, or security-related questions.All forms have in common that they serve the structured determination, professional evaluation, and transparent documentation of a matter. 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, as well as the implementation and invoicing of expert activities are carried out by VAKT-GmbH. This assumes the administrative and contractual framework conditions of the commissioning.The technical responsibility for the expert evaluation, assessment, and result presentation lies independently with the respective commissioned expert person. 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 neutrality, independence, and transparency of the expert activity are always maintained.
If, in the course of an expert activity, technical additions, partial considerations, or expansions are required, further qualified experts can be involved - after prior coordination and explicit approval by the client.In these cases, the order and service documents are correspondingly supplemented and clarified before the involvement of another expert. The integration of additional expert expertise is carried out solely 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 comprehensive expert opinion, which is created and invoiced within the framework of the extended commissioning. Any resulting changes in costs are transparently presented to the client in the course of the commissioning expansion and acknowledged by their consent.
The expert activity takes place within a professional framework that is oriented towards 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 forms a structural framework for this purpose. The recognition and qualification of experts are carried out according to the respective applicable association regulations and serve to ensure professional minimum standards as well as the continuous development of appraisal methods.Inquiries about expert activities that are addressed to BISG e.V. can be forwarded to member experts and appraisers for non-binding examination within the framework of association activities. No selection, evaluation or recommendation by BISG e.V. takes place in this context.The decision on 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.
