FHI partner of Digital Safety Together – will you join us?

We are increasingly working digitally and that has many advantages. But there are also risks: cybercriminals are finding new ways to hack software and systems every day. FHI believes it is important that members and the sector can work digitally safely. This prevents your company from coming to a standstill for a while due to a hack, but also prevents sensitive information from being stolen. The technology sectors are particularly interesting for cybercriminals. We must all ensure that we defend ourselves against this. By connecting to the Samen Digitaal Veilig (SDV) platform, our members can work on cybersecurity in an even more targeted way and more support is possible, which is why we recently entered into a partnership. Samen Digitaal Veilig is an initiative of sector and professional organisations in collaboration with MKB-Nederland with the support of the Ministries of Justice and Security and Economic Affairs.

Partnership FHI – SDV

Samen Digitaal Veilig (SDV) consists of collaborating industry organizations (partners) that help companies (members) with information and tools for digital security.

Would you like to read more about these different options, then check out our landing pageIn the near future, we will communicate more often about the possibilities of SDV, about important developments in the field of cyber security and events that we will organize together.

 

Cybersecurity Act

The Dutch Cybersecurity Act definitively entered into force on 15 August 2026.

Approximately 10,000 large companies and institutions fall directly under the law. However, the impact extends much further. Tens of thousands of other companies are also indirectly affected by this law, because they are suppliers to organizations that do fall directly under the law.

These 10,000 large companies and institutions are legally obliged to manage the risks in their supply chain and to audit their suppliers accordingly. This has far-reaching consequences:

🔹 Cybersecurity is becoming a prerequisite for doing business.
🔹 Suppliers must provide demonstrable proof, otherwise they risk missing out on orders and contracts.
🔹 There is no waiting period. Organizations must comply with the law starting August 15.

More about Legislation and Regulations

Legislation and regulations play a crucial role in ensuring a safe and responsible working environment. Laws and regulations are constantly changing to respond to new risks and social needs. And with the increasing focus on sustainability, legal requirements are becoming more complex. These developments force companies to adapt their processes and proactively comply with new standards and guidelines. Here we keep you informed of the latest developments in relevant legislation and regulations and you can read what they mean for your organization.

NIS2 Cybersecurity Act Certification

Companies in numerous sectors supply larger companies covered by NIS2. For many companies, the question is no longer whether, but how quickly they will start implementation, as time is of the essence. The Cybersecurity Act entered into force on August 15, 2026, and the obligations have not been weakened. The content is fixed and far-reaching. Approximately 10,000 large companies and institutions fall directly under the law, and the supply chain obligations extend to another 10,000 additional companies. The message is simple: start today and work towards demonstrable compliance, such as obtaining NIS2-SC certification, and ensure you are ready for both the statutory and supply chain obligations.
