At (the) T with... Marco Bijl and Kees van der Vlies from DigiTrust.

They are located on the top floor of building TQ5 at MELT.

What does your company do?

"DigiTrust is involved in auditing, certifying, and assessing information security (cybersecurity) at various organizations. We assess how conscious, prepared, and resilient the organization is to digital attacks," said an enthusiastic Marco. "In this process, we focus on processes, people, and technology," added Kees.

"DigiTrust has an accreditation from the Dutch Accreditation Council (RVA) for issuing recognized certificates to organizations with well-established information security. Cybersecurity is of great importance, especially in this high-tech region. That is why we have established our office at Strijp-T."

"Strijp- is for us an inspiring environment with innovative and technological companies. We find the community incredibly enjoyable; the April Fool's joke in the atomic bunker we thought was a great prank. However, it also showed that Philips was already consciously engaged in being sufficiently resilient to attacks here in the past."

What is your role?

"Marco is director and Kees is Lead Auditor. We work throughout the country with a team of 15 auditors. Regularly, the entire company gathers in the High5, one of the meeting rooms at MELT."

Who would you like us to join you for the next time at the T?

To our downstairs neighbor ABB. What does such a large internationally operating high-tech company do with cybersecurity?
