Samen Digitaal Veilig (Together Digitally Safe) is a national Dutch platform that helps companies — especially SMEs and supply chain partners — improve their cybersecurity in a practical, accessible way. Created by MKB-Nederland and VNO-NCW, the platform is focused on preparing businesses for stricter cybersecurity regulations under the NIS2 directive.
A practical solution for collective security
With support from over 90 industry associations and 175,000 companies, Samen Digitaal Veilig provides:
- Short training videos and webinars
- Self-assessments for your IT providers and own risk exposure
- Guidance for achieving NIS2 compliance
- Software tools to collaborate securely across supply chains
The platform aims to make digital collaboration safer by simplifying cyber risk management within business networks.
NIS2 compliance and supply chain readiness
NIS2 affects over 10,000 organizations in the Netherlands directly — and tens of thousands of suppliers indirectly. Samen Digitaal Veilig helps both categories: it supports businesses with their own compliance efforts and enables them to assess and strengthen their suppliers’ cybersecurity.
By doing so, companies can demonstrate they are fulfilling their supply chain responsibility — a key component of NIS2.
RiskStudio and Samen Digitaal Veilig
RiskStudio complements Samen Digitaal Veilig by adding depth to risk insight and actionability. While Samen Digitaal Veilig focuses on awareness and the basics, RiskStudio provides continuous, data-driven monitoring of your digital supply chain.
Organizations can use RiskStudio to assess the security posture of suppliers within the Samen Digitaal Veilig network, assign ownership internally, and track vulnerabilities and incidents in real time. Together, they form a powerful duo for achieving and maintaining cybersecurity maturity and NIS2 compliance.
