A sound approach to cybersecurity affects all aspects of your organisation: at the top (organisational structure) and across its breadth (service). It therefore presents a pre-eminent strategic challenge for the boardroom. Your IT department does of course also play an important role, but you are the person who sets the parameters at strategic level for the formulation, implementation, monitoring and maintenance of your organisation’s cybersecurity policy. This is not a one-off matter, but a continuous process. This guide will help you to gain an insight into how you can put cybersecurity in place in your organisation.
From the Foreword:
Our society is rapidly digitalising, and we are all reaping the benefits. Our country is a leading
knowledge economy and a digital port. But there are also downsides. Personal data, bank
credits and business secrets are stolen, identify fraud is committed and disruption, whether or
not by attackers, can affect our critical processes.
Society expects organisations to keep their digital services in good order. In particular, critical
processes have to be protected against digital (and other) threats. Nobody wants to see society
disrupted by a (cyber)incident. Public and private organisations in the critical processes are
therefore expected to be resilient and responsive in the event of an incident taking place.
A sound approach to cybersecurity affects all aspects of your organisation: at the top
(organisational structure) and across its breadth (service). It therefore presents a

for the formulation, implementation, monitoring and maintenance of your organisation’s
cybersecurity policy. This is not a one-off matter, but a continuous process.
Incidents are having an ever-greater impact. They not only affect your organisation and
your partners in the chain, but could also affect you personally. Therefore we would like to
refer to the Cyber Security Guide for Businesses 'Every business has duties of care in the
field of cybersecurity'. Digital resilience calls for and deserves the same attention as your
organisation’s financial and operational health.
