Cybersecurity Consulting
Most organisations don't lack security tools. They lack a coherent strategy connecting the tools they have to the risks that actually matter. We build that connective layer: architecture, roadmap, and the judgement calls in between.
Delivered from our base in Utrecht, available to organisations across the Netherlands.
The problem
Security spending often happens reactively: a tool bought after an incident, a control added because an auditor asked, a policy written because a customer required it. None of it is wrong individually, but without an underlying strategy it accumulates into a patchwork that's expensive and still has real gaps nobody's mapped.
Business impact
Without a coherent strategy, security investment doesn't compound. Every new tool or control exists in isolation instead of closing a gap in a known architecture. That means paying repeatedly for partial coverage instead of building toward a security posture that actually holds together.
Consulting engagements typically start with one of these, and often expand as the roadmap takes shape.
Security strategy & architecture
A target security architecture that maps to how your organisation actually operates, not a generic reference model.
Security maturity assessment
An honest baseline of where your controls stand today, benchmarked against a recognised framework.
Cyber risk management
Risk registers and treatment plans that a board can act on, tied to business impact rather than CVSS scores alone.
Security roadmaps
A sequenced, budget-aware plan: what to fix first, what to defer, and why.
Virtual security advisory
Ongoing strategic security guidance for organisations that need senior security judgement without a full-time hire.
Third-party & vendor risk
Assessing the security posture of the vendors and suppliers your business now depends on.
How this engagement runs
Assess
Understand the current state, real risk, and what's actually driving the need for this work.
Architect
Design the controls and approach that fit your environment, not a generic template.
Implement
Deploy and integrate the work: configuration, code, or process, whichever the engagement calls for.
Validate
Test that it actually holds up, rather than assuming it does because it's been deployed.
Improve
Feed findings back in as your environment and the threat landscape change.

Frequently asked questions
We don't have any security programme at all. Where do we even start?
With a maturity assessment: a structured look at where things stand today across identity, endpoints, cloud, applications and governance. That becomes the basis for a roadmap sequenced by actual risk and budget, rather than trying to fix everything simultaneously.
Do you support ongoing advisory work, or only one-off projects?
Both. Some organisations need a defined project (a maturity assessment, a specific remediation). Others want ongoing virtual security advisory: senior security judgement on a recurring basis without hiring a full-time CISO.
Can cybersecurity consulting work be delivered remotely?
Yes, most of it. Strategy sessions, architecture reviews and roadmap planning work well remotely, with in-person sessions arranged when useful (workshops, board presentations, or simply because you're based near Utrecht).
How do you handle third-party and vendor risk?
By assessing the actual security posture of key vendors, not just collecting a questionnaire response, but understanding what access they have to your environment and data, and whether that access is appropriately scoped and monitored.
