What is the BIO?

The Government Information Security Baseline (BIO) is a set of guidelines and standards that have been developed to ensure the information security of government agencies in the Netherlands. The purpose of the BIO is to ensure that sensitive government information is protected against threats ranging from cyber attacks to internal incidents. Compliance with the BIO provides benefits, including:

‍

Risk Management: By following the BIO, government agencies can better identify and manage their risks.
Trust: The public and other stakeholders have more confidence in government agencies that can demonstrate that they protect citizens' information.
Collaboration: The BIO acts as a common framework for information security within the government, making cooperation between agencies easier.

‍

The structure of the BIO is consistent with the Annex to ISO 27001, but there are added increased security requirements as the previously mentioned BNN risk level is higher. Chapters 4 to 10 of the High Level Structure (HLS) of the ISO 27001 standard, which relate to the requirements for the Plan-Do-Check-Act process, are not part of the BIO. Want to know more? Then be sure to read our blog about the BIO!

Your route to BIO in 7 steps

‍

GAP analysis

How does your organization compare to the norm? You get a (glass) clear overview of the missing parts and a clear roadmap for the rest of the steps.

Risk analysis

This is where we make the difference. We set up the management system for you and write the policy. Practical, workable and to the point. We do the heavy lifting.

The management system and policy

We translate the standard requirements to your organization. Practically workable in a management system, including relevant policy documents, scope and responsible division of roles. Don't worry, we keep everything manageable.

Awareness

From policy to practice, people make the difference. We train your team so that information security becomes second nature. From the front desk to the boardroom.

Interne audit + Directiebeoordeling

Zijn we er klaar voor? We voeren een strenge interne audit uit en evalueren de status met de directie. We testen het systeem en lossen de laatste puntjes op. Zo ga je met 100% vertrouwen de externe audit in.

External audit

The moment of truth. The independent auditor checks whether you meet the standard. Exciting? Maybe. But we sit next to you to guide you. Successful? Then you can fly the flag!

Remain a leader (Maintenance & Improvement)

The certificate hangs, but the world is not standing still. We remain involved as a knowledge partner to keep your system up to date. We ensure continuous improvement, so that you always stay ahead.

Success stories

What other frontrunners say

ISO 27001

NEN 7510

“The internal audit, a requirement of the ISO 27001 standard, is an investigation into the proper and reliable functioning of business processes and ways of working.”

Jan Willem Derksen

General Director

ISO 27001

“If you don't have the knowledge yourself, it's crucial to bring in someone like Kilian. It has helped us refine our processes and ensures that we stay up to date with changes in the standard and legislation. And he really became part of the team.”

Angelo Derksen

Developer NowOnline

ISO 27001

“What this week has made clear is that cybersecurity is not just the responsibility of our IT department, but of all of us.”

Joeri van de Watering

CEO Goose VPN

ISO 27001

“Information security has become an integral part of our work. We keep improving and optimizing processes where necessary.”

Linda

Security Officer and Manager Supporting Teams at Stap & Care Group

ISO 9001

“The structured guidance provided by Tidal and their consulting partner Fendix, combined with the tool's templates and workflows, made it possible for us to succeed.”

Maurits Broers

Head of Delivery Nedscaper

ISO 27001

“Jelle really made the difference. He knew how to get the entire organization involved, talks to the CEO just as easily as with employees in the factory, and is now being found by everyone for questions. We don't see him as a consultant, but as a colleague.”

Stefan Evers

Managing Director TotalEnergies Charging Solutions (NL)

ISO 27001

“The great thing is that you notice that information security is increasingly becoming part of daily practice. People are now asking the question themselves: what about the risks? That means that it lives in the organization. And that's exactly what we wanted to achieve.”

Angelique van Hassel

Managing Director, Head of Benelux Heras.

NEN 7510

“Everyone automatically locks their car when they leave it. I wanted information security to be just as natural, so that every employee in their role is aware of it.”

Bianca Bogers

Information Security Officer at GGZ Westelijk Noord-Brabant

AVG/GDPR

“The Data Protection Officer ensures that we stay focused on the topic of “privacy” every month. The external perspective also provides something extra, because the internal processes are being improved.”

David Izelaar

Director at A-VISION
