Utrecht, 15 May 2025: Msafe, the platform for secure and simple file sharing, has officially joined Cyberveilig Nederland, the Dutch industry association dedicated to strengthening the digital resilience of Dutch organisations.

What is Cyberveilig Nederland?

Cyberveilig Nederland is the industry association of cybersecurity service providers in the Netherlands. It was founded in 2018 by eight cybersecurity companies and works to raise quality and transparency in the sector and to make the Netherlands more digitally resilient. Its director is Liesbeth Holterman.

The association works with government, academia and policymakers. Members can take part in working groups and projects around fixed themes:

  • quality and transparency in the cybersecurity sector;
  • cybersecurity policy and strategy;
  • public-private information sharing;
  • OT security;
  • human capital and innovation.

The association is also known for its Dutch cybersecurity dictionary, which explains around 780 terms in plain language and was developed with more than 90 organisations.

What does the membership mean for Msafe customers?

The Dutch Cybersecurity Act (Cyberbeveiligingswet), the national implementation of NIS2, has applied since 15 August 2026. Organisations in scope must manage risks in their supply chain and be able to demonstrate that their measures work. Suppliers that follow the sector and regulation closely make that easier. Read which evidence the act requires for file sharing in the Cybersecurity Act and file sharing.

Since joining, Msafe has attended meetings of the association and exchanged knowledge with other members. These contacts help to spot developments in the market and in regulation early, and to reflect them in the product and in advice to customers.

Please note: membership is not a quality mark or certification. Msafe is separately ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certified. To see how organisations share data securely with customers and partners, read secure data sharing as a growth enabler.
