Cyber Strategy and Risk Management Services

Information security and compliance are crucial for ensuring the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of sensitive information. Adhering to security standards and compliance regulations also helps organizations manage risks in an efficient way, protect their reputation and avoid costly legal penalties and fines. Our approach aligns your strategy with international standards such as ISO27001, NIST CSF or ISF SoGP, compliance requirements and business goals, helping you identify vulnerabilities, prioritize risk mitigation, and demonstrate compliance for a stronger defense against information risks and a competitive edge. 

The KPMG Cyber Maturity methodology allows us to assess the maturity of your cyber capabilities in a structured manner across nine domains, together covering the full spectrum of cybersecurity. We define your business-aligned cyber strategy, taking into account business drivers, threat actors and most prominent crown jewels. The strategy yields a future operating model and capability set, plus roadmap and business case for realizing the ambition

Investing in cybersecurity is crucial due to the shortage of skilled professionals and growing cyber threats. Organizations should prioritize experienced professionals, ongoing education, and aligning with business objectives and risk tolerance. Our Cyber Capacity Building Program provides tailored training to enhance global cyber resilience, focusing on critical information infrastructure protection, CSIRT maturity, OT security, and a resilience ecosystem for sustainable long-term success.

The threat of business disruption from cyberattacks or other disasters is very real, but with the KPMG Powered Resilience and business continuity services, you will be prepared for business disruption from cyberattacks or other disasters. KPMG helps you identify critical business services, develop strategies to reduce the impact and probability of a disaster, and create comprehensive business continuity plans. KPMG also provides crisis management plans and training, conducts resilience testing, and builds resilience to cyber threats.

Dutch government organizations use the Government information security baseline (in Dutch: Baseline Informatiebeveiliging Overheid or BIO) as the foundation for implementing information security. The annual reporting (‘In Control Statement’) and implementation of improvement actions drive continuous improvement to make the organization more digitally resilient. By applying risk management and including control measures in a PDCA cycle, you can achieve the appropriate level of security for (personal) data and systems within the context of your business objectives. We help you get the BIO on the board’s agenda and establish it sustainably and practically within your organization.

An effective third-party risk management strategy can protect reputation and reduce costs. Regulations require third-party vendors to be monitored for security breaches and data loss, with fines for noncompliance. We help clients identify and manage cybersecurity risks posed by third-party relationships, minimize risk, and maintain business continuity while complying with regulations.

With the EU's Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) setting new requirements and challenges for financial sector entities, it is crucial to assess and address your organization's operational resilience. To ensure your organization is on the right track, ask yourself: 'What steps have we taken to assess and address our operational resilience in light of DORA requirements?’

We can help you navigate these challenges with our multidisciplinary approach, bringing together specialists in assurance and auditing, risk management, cybersecurity, digital strategy, third-party management, and business continuity. 

Our comprehensive approach will help you meet DORA compliance requirements and achieve operational resilience. 

The EU's NIS2 legislation, effective in 2025, poses a challenge for companies to level up their cybersecurity. Noncompliance for essential entities can result in fines of up to 2% of annual turnover and management liability. The solution lies in a convergence of IT/OT stacks, compliance with regulatory requirements, and people, process, technology, and governance pillars. We help companies with a defined framework, baseline assessments, and short-term and transformative initiatives to build a strategic plan and road map towards NIS2 compliance. The journey is like following the yellow brick road to reach the desired destination of compliance.
