Cybersecurity for ministries, provinces and municipalities
CISO Ally strengthens your cybersecurity posture and compliance without locking you into an unmanageable programme. Each service can be awarded per phase, so urgency, budget and delivery stay aligned with how government procurement actually works.
NIS2 / CBW compliance
NIS2 is implemented in the Netherlands as the Cyberbeveiligingswet (CBW). Use a phased programme to show senior management the urgency of cyber security — and to award and progress work quickly and adequately.
What we deliver
- Gap analyses
- Guidance on legal frameworks
- Mapping supply-chain accountability
- Implementing required measures
- Reporting and documentation
Benefits
- Meet statutory requirements
- Higher resilience against cyber attacks
- Clear current-state insight
- Step-by-step implementation
ISMS implementation
An Information Security Management System is essential to organise the volume of requirements on security specialists — and to prove you are in control. We align to ISO 27001 and integrate with existing processes, with training and periodic improvement.
What we deliver
- Implementation of an Information Security Management System
- Alignment with ISO 27001 standards
- Integration with existing processes
- Training and knowledge transfer
- Periodic evaluation and improvement
Benefits
- Systematic approach to information security
- Better compliance with laws and regulations
- Higher efficiency in security processes
- Clear reporting structure
BCM & crisis management
Phased BCM: awareness, risk picture, budget, coaching on critical processes, tooling, gap analysis, handover. Supports continuity of public services under CBW expectations.
Proof: Papendrecht — ~50 critical processes with continuity statements in ~10 months.
What we deliver
- Business continuity planning
- Crisis management procedures
- Incident response planning
- Disaster recovery strategies
- Tabletop exercises and simulations
Benefits
- Minimise downtime during incidents
- Faster recovery processes
- Better coordination during crises
- Increased stakeholder confidence
Cyber security awareness
End-to-end programmes: research, product selection, implementation, coaching, handover — microlearning, mandatory updates, phishing simulations.
Proof: ~5,000 staff across 7 municipalities in 3 months (SSO, DPIA, procurement included).
What we deliver
- Awareness training and workshops
- Phishing simulations
- Microlearning modules
- Behaviour-change programmes
- Measurable results and reporting
Benefits
- Higher security awareness among staff
- Fewer human-error incidents
- Better recognition of phishing and social engineering
- Culture shift toward security-first
GRC implementation (SMARTcontrols)
Governance, risk and compliance needs workable tooling. Software is subordinate to process — but essential for overview. We implement GRC/ISMS with SMARTcontrols, risk registers and reporting suitable for ENSIA-oriented cycles where relevant.
What we deliver
- Implementation of GRC solutions with SMARTcontrols
- Integration with existing systems
- Risk management frameworks
- Compliance monitoring
- Reporting and dashboards
Benefits
- Integrated overview of governance, risk and compliance
- More efficient compliance processes
- Better decisions based on risk information
- Higher transparency for stakeholders
Stakeholder management
Added value for cyber dossiers: senior-management awareness, budget negotiations and procurement. Identification, communication strategy, board presentations, budget-case support, procurement guidance.
What we deliver
- Stakeholder identification and analysis
- Communication strategies
- Presentations for management and the board
- Support for budget cases
- Guidance through procurement processes
Benefits
- Better alignment between IT and the business
- Stronger buy-in for cybersecurity initiatives
- More effective communication about risk
- Faster decision-making and implementation
