The SAUTER code of conduct

The SAUTER code of conduct contains the parameters we apply to our relationships with business partners and public officials; it determines how we work together and with others. The code of conduct defines what SAUTER expects of its employees. Compliance is required and enforced. Persons failing to comply will be penalised and may be subject to criminal prosecution.

We are convinced that commercial success can only be sustainably achieved if it is obtained through means and methods that satisfy high ethical and moral principles. In this spirit the following rules shall be the key to our company’s long-term success.

    SAUTER Head Office was the target of a cyber security incident on November 20, 2024. SAUTER’s IT department immediately activated, well defined, internal emergency plans. All IT systems were completely isolated and shut down to successfully prevent the attack from spreading. External cybersecurity experts and data forensics specialists then began to check all systems and restore them securely. This process is unfortunately time-consuming, but absolutely necessary to ensure that the cyber-attack does not continue at a later date.


    The SAUTER websites have been affected by the emergency operation and are available again with immediate effect.


    There are currently no concrete indications that our customers' infrastructures have been compromised in any way by SAUTER devices. It appears to be an opportunistic incident with no clearly recognisable long-term goals or systematic attacks. The situation does not currently suggest that there is a targeted, sustained threat to the affected systems.
