Brandaris Cybersecurity is based in Alkmaar, at Keesomstraat 10-G. With a team of eight people, we help organisations become digitally resilient: in Alkmaar and the region, and across the rest of the Netherlands. Our base is in Alkmaar; we also work on site with you. From a consultancy with ten employees to a municipality. Not with scare tactics or technical sales pitches, but with down-to-earth advice and solutions that simply work.

Local and personal

Many of our clients are literally around the corner. Entrepreneurs and organisations that want to grow, but do not want to leave their digital security to chance. They chose Brandaris because we are close by, communicate clearly and think along. No anonymous helpdesk or ticket system, but direct contact with specialists who know your organisation.

That proximity makes a difference when it counts. When Intellius in Heiloo had been hacked and their previous IT provider could not fix it, they called us on a Friday evening. They were not yet a client. Maikel came by that same evening and by night it was fixed. Read the Intellius story.

Who we work for in the region

We work for more than 50 organisations, a large share of them in North Holland. A selection from the region:

  • Alkmaar: including AG Adviesbureau & Arbodienst, Praktijk Vaas, Notaria, Urios, Your Adviesgroep, EPICC and the Municipality of Alkmaar
  • Heerhugowaard: including Zorgwaard, Balder Verbouw and Gewoon Beveiliging
  • Heiloo, Limmen and Egmond: including Intellius, BOOST, De Financials NH and Brouwerij Egmond
  • Elsewhere in North Holland: including in Schagen, Hoorn, Purmerend, Zaandam and Haarlem

Read how Praktijk Vaas and AG Adviesbureau & Arbodienst arranged their digital security, or see all customer stories and clients.

Together with the municipalities of Alkmaar, Haarlem and Purmerend, we also created the material for the Digital First Responder: a colleague who knows what to do first in a digital incident. That starter kit is free for everyone.

What we do

For SMEs: Cyber Resilience. We secure, manage and monitor your Microsoft 365 and workstations, with an independent backup of your Microsoft 365 data and training for your employees. Your environment is monitored day and night by the SOC of our technology partner. If something suspicious happens, action is taken immediately. From €25 per employee per month. Prefer a dedicated adviser who thinks along? That is Cyber Advice. See our offering for SMEs.

For larger organisations. Research and advice, implementations and improvement projects, training, and specialists who work alongside your team. See our offering for large organisations.

How we work

  1. Baseline assessment. We always start with what is already there. A conversation and a technical review of your digital foundation, at a fixed price. So you know where you stand and what comes first. Read why a baseline assessment is anything but redundant.
  2. Improvement plan. A plan that fits your organisation. Starting small is fine, as long as you start.
  3. Secure and monitor. We set up security and keep it at the right level.
  4. Awareness. Most incidents start with people, not technology. That is why we train employees with short, recognisable examples.
  5. Review together. We sit down together at least once a quarter. What has improved and where is there still room to gain?
