SFUVET’s ICT team was again challenged by the pandemic in 2021. The focus was on providing and further developing an infrastructure that would ensure trouble-free distance learning and secure operation for employees working remotely from home. To facilitate home office setups, employees were provided with technical equipment on loan. Moreover, a new ICT support platform was created.

IT services audited externally

In 2021, SFUVET’s IT services were comprehensively audited. The external audit provided information on the status of hardware, software and IT security. While IT security was rated as 'very good', there is an immediate and long-term need for action in the areas of hardware and software. The SFUVET Executive Committee decided on initial measures already last year. The results of the IT audit now serves as the basis for the new IT strategy that SFUVET is currently developing.
