On (the) T at... Marco Bijl and Kees van der Vlies of DigiTrust

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

What does your company do?

"DigiTrust is involved in auditing and certifying and assessing information security (cybersecurity) at various organizations. We assess how the organization is aware, prepared and resilient to digital attacks." said anenthusiastic Marco. "In doing so we focus on the processes, people and technology." adds Kees.

"DigiTrust has an accreditation with the Council for Accreditation (RVA) to issue recognized certificates to organizations where information security is well arranged. Cybersecurity is of great importance, especially in thisHightech region. That is also the reason why we have located our office on Strijp-T."

"Strijp- is for us an inspiring environment with innovative and technological companies. We find the commmunity extremely enjoyable; the 1 aprilgrap. in the atomic bunker we thought was a great joke. But, it also showed that Philips here in the past was already consciously engaged in being sufficiently resilient to attacks."

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 whole company meets in the High5, one of MELT's meeting rooms."

Whose place would you like us to go to on the T next time?
