Square Table – Third-Party Management in the NIS2 Era: A Holistic Approach to Information Security

With over 25 years in IT and a deep passion for information security, I bring a unique blend of sales, strategy, and technical expertise. My mission is to help organizations safeguard their most valuable asset – information – by setting business objectives at the center for realizing the secure processing of information.

To support organizations in structuring third-party relationships in line with secure information processing requirements, I developed a framework (see attached image) that enables businesses to assess their needs from multiple perspectives. This approach helps ensure that third parties securely process information while maintaining operational efficiency.

At Sogeti, I work as a security advisor, focusing on enhancing the security of our services for clients. I strongly believe that adopting a holistic perspective on information security enables organizations to drive sustainable digital transformation.

Publications and Podcast:

I regularly publish articles on information security, advocating a more holistic approach on information security, positioning technology as a means to an end in stead of the primary starting point for information security:

• SogetiLabs Website (English blogs)
• LinkedIn (English & Dutch blogs)

Additionally, I co-host the Echt Veilig?! podcast, where we explore critical cybersecurity topics in an accessible and engaging way:
