Independent Evaluation. Clear Classification.
Structured, traceable, and reliable.
Expert activities in the IT field serve the independent, technically sound determination, evaluation, and documentation of technical, organizational, and procedural facts. They fundamentally differ from consulting, operational, or project-related activities and are subject to special requirements for neutrality, traceability, and transparency.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 traceable and verifiable for non-technical third parties - in particular courts, lawyers, clients, or decision-making bodies.This page serves the purpose of objectively classifying IT expertise, presenting the underlying roles, differentiations, and procedures, as well as transparently describing 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 differentiation 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 its evaluation and assessment; it remains uninfluenced by other entrepreneurial, consulting, or operational activities.Organizational, contractual, or administrative services serve exclusively the structural processing and are in no content-related connection with the expert evaluation or the result of an expert opinion.This clear role and function differentiation 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 each 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 supplementary expert opinions. In addition, expert opinions 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 verifiable 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 formation, and processing and billing of expert activities are carried out by VAKT-GmbH. This company assumes the administrative and contractual framework conditions of the commission.The professional responsibility for the expert evaluation, assessment, and presentation of results lies independently with the respective expert person commissioned. 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 processing and professional responsibility ensures that the neutrality, independence, and verifiability of the expert activity are always maintained.
If, in the course of an expert activity, professional 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 contract and performance documents are supplemented and clarified before the involvement of another expert. The involvement of additional expert expertise is carried out exclusively for professional reasons and without influence from third parties on the expert evaluation and assessment.Supplementary 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 expansion and recognized by their consent.
The expert activity takes place within a professional framework, which is oriented towards recognized standards and qualification requirements of the IT expert industry. Such a professional classification is a prerequisite for the objective, traceable, and independent evaluation of complex IT matters.The BISG e.V. - Federal Association of IT Experts and Appraisers provides a structural framework for this purpose. The recognition and qualification of experts are carried out in accordance with 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 referred 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.
