Cybersecurity is important for everyone. Nobody wants to be hacked or lose files and data. This can lead to significant financial and emotional damage, both in business and personal contexts.

When it comes to cybersecurity in organizations and companies, there are even obligations. Do you work with sensitive (customer) data? Then you are legally required to meet certain standards.

Contact OpenSight immediately as your incident response provider, or reach out to your IT administrator or service provider.

Immediately disconnect the hacked device from other networks such as wired internet, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and turn off the device.

If the hack involves login credentials, make sure to immediately change all passwords that are the same, similar, or follow the same pattern. If you have linked accounts, disconnect them as soon as possible.

No, cybersecurity certifications are not mandatory. In principle, cybersecurity certifications are not required, but for many sectors, there are laws and regulations that do mandate certain certifications, such as ISO or NIS. Most certifications are tailored, as requirements vary by industry and the size of organizations.

At OpenSight, we assist with obtaining and maintaining cybersecurity certifications. Feel free to contact us for advice or request a free demo.

Organizations can use various tools, such as the risk assessment roadmap from the Digital Trust Centre. Additionally, it is advisable to appoint a NIS2 compliance officer who will be responsible for the implementation and adherence to NIS2 guidelines within the company. NIS2 has significant implications for companies and organizations in Europe, including the Dutch business sector.

For simplicity and certainty, choose OpenSight for your certification process. With the help of our experts, we provide transparency for your company, expertise in cybersecurity solutions, and the necessary documentation and logging to meet cybersecurity standards such as NIS2.

ISO 27001 is een wereldwijd erkende norm op het gebied van informatiebeveiliging. Deze norm is een onderdeel van de ISO 27000 serie en helpt bij het beveiligen van informatie in de breedste zin van het woord – digitaal, geprint, intern of extern. Bij een ISO verifiëring wordt er gebruikt gemaakt van een managementsysteem dat moet voldoen aan de in de norm gestelde eisen. Binnen dit managementsysteem wordt er aan de hand van een risicoanalyse bepaald welke maatregelen van toepassing zijn op de organisatie. Zodat de veiligheidsmaatregelen naadloos aansluiten op alle bedrijfsprocessen.

Voor het behalen van een ISO 27001 certificaat moet de externe auditor voldoende aangetoond zien dat het management in control is. Dit wordt gedaan door het beoordelen van het management systeem aan de norm eisen en het toetsen van het beleid en de genomen maatregelen. Als de auditor een positief advies geeft dan zal er een certificaat worden uitgedeeld.

ISO 9001 is a globally recognized standard for quality. It is part of the ISO 9000 series and supports quality management within your organization. An ISO certification involves using a management system that must meet the requirements outlined in the standard. A risk assessment determines which measures are applicable to the organization, ensuring that the measures align seamlessly with the organization’s processes.

To obtain an ISO 9001 certificate, the organization must demonstrate to an external auditor that management is adequately in control. This is done by evaluating the management system against the standard’s requirements and assessing the policies and measures taken. If the auditor provides a positive recommendation, a certificate will be issued.

CIS V8 stands for Center for Information Security version 8 and includes a set of “Critical Controls” for information security. CIS V8 was developed by various security experts worldwide, without commercial interests, to help organizations achieve optimal protection. The security measures discussed in CIS V8 ensure that organizations are well-protected against the most common cyberattacks on systems and networks.

CIS controls are not part of ISO and thus cannot be certified through that standard. However, OpenSight does certify these controls. This process is similar to an ISO audit, with the difference being that we assess the actual measures rather than a management system. This provides the internal organization with complete visibility into the existence and effectiveness of security controls within the organization.

Security is at the core of what we do at OpenSight. Our approach is based on three interlinked pillars: People, Process, and Technology. We aim to quickly and cost-effectively enhance your security, ensuring it aligns seamlessly with your business needs.

Through targeted training, awareness activities, and ongoing guidance, we turn your teams into experts in recognizing and mitigating digital threats.

Process
In the ‘Process’ category, we fortify your defense by implementing cybersecurity processes that integrate seamlessly into your operations. Our customized cybersecurity processes are designed for efficiency, enabling your organization to quickly respond to incidents, meet compliance requirements, and manage risks. This effectively enhances your business’s resilience against cyber threats.
