About us - and our goals

Governikus is often on the move long before legal regulations come into force and technological specifications become standards. Because we love being pioneers, examining challenges as innovators and getting them out of the way. We want to prepare our customers today for what they will need tomorrow and take us forward together - and have been doing so for over 20 years. On this basis, we develop products and solutions to master the challenges of digitalization.

Our IT security solutions are among the standard applications in e-government and e-justice. Our foundation is current law: both national and international.

Thanks to our close cooperation with our customers and partners, as well as our involvement in various national and international committees, we are able to react to current developments and drive innovation through open dialog.

Agile development

The demands of modern software development require first-class developers and creativity, as well as a regular exchange of ideas. In order to meet these requirements, we work with agile software development methods. In sprints and in direct dialog with our customers, we define goals, record efforts and implement solutions. Always accompanied by the responsible product owners and internal experts.

The legal security of our developments is guaranteed by internal and external experts from the fields of e-government and e-justice. The functionality of the applications is checked for further development potential in regular audits by internal and independent experts. Through this procedure, we guarantee functioning and secure applications that comply with legal regulations and international and German standards from the time of delivery.

Public Corporate Governance Code

As a company wholly owned by the Free Hanseatic City of Bremen, we are guided in our actions by the "Public Corporate Governance Code of the Free Hanseatic City of Bremen". Standards of good and responsible corporate governance are intended to improve the management and supervision of the company and ensure better and more economical performance. In addition, greater transparency, responsibility and control are intended to strengthen public trust in companies in which Bremen has a stake and in the state as a shareholder.
