Secura chosen as Pentest Partner for the Municipality of Rotterdam

With the framework agreement, the Municipality of Rotterdam is further implementing the municipal information security policies based on the Baseline Information Security for Government (BIO). Through this framework agreement, Rotterdam will gain insight into the status and effectiveness of its security measures in order to bring these to a higher maturity level. In previous years, Secura has performed over twenty security assessments for the Municipality of Rotterdam, as a precursor to this contract.

As a Pentest Partner, Secura will perform various annual pentesting assessments for the Municipality of Rotterdam on the IT infrastructure and on the applications and OT/SCADA/ICS environment. This includes, among other things, the pentesting of the DigiD environment and external or internal pentesting of new IT infrastructure, applications, and systems. Secura will also perform digital forensics when necessary and provide an incident response in collaboration with business partner EYE Security.

"We are very proud to be collaborating with the Municipality of Rotterdam in improving the cyber resilience of this beautiful city. We are happy to see that awareness is growing within municipalities and government, and that more and more attention is being paid to cybersecurity and the prevention of cybercrime. Especially in the public sector where large amounts of (critical) data and personal data circulate, cybersecurity is of utmost importance."
