The CyberFundamentals Framework is a series of concrete measures developed by the Center for Cyber Security Belgium (CCB) to help organizations protect their data, significantly reduce the risk of common cyber attacks and increase overall cyber resilience.

This framework is based on four commonly used cybersecurity frameworks:

NIST CSF

ISO 27001/27002

CIS Controls

IEC 62443

This framework also uses anonymized historical data of successful cyber attacks.

Benefits of the CyberFundamentals Label

Obtaining the CyberFundamentals label offers organizations considerable advantages. The label demonstrates that the organization complies with a recognized standard of cybersecurity practices, which strengthens trust among customers and partners. In addition, the conformity assessment process helps reduce risks associated with cyber threats and can lead to new business opportunities and partnerships.

The CyberFundamentals Framework offers organizations a structured approach to strengthen their cybersecurity. However, it can be challenging for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to effectively implement and manage these measures.

IRM360's NIS2-CSMS for SME suppliers

The NIS2-CSMS subscription from IRM360 is designed for small organizations and teams that want to comply with the NIS2 directive in combination with the NIS2 Quality Mark. This solution is ideal for SME suppliers to important and essential NIS2 organizations and for those for whom frameworks such as ISO 27001 are too complex. The management system works without the ISMS and is geared to the NIS2 Quality Mark or, for example, the CyberFundamentals Framework.

How IRM360 helps with implementation:

1. User-friendly interface: The system is logically structured and can be adjusted in accordance with standard requirements, allowing organizations without in-depth expertise in information security to get started.
2. Integration of standards and frameworks: IRM360 offers integrated management systems for information security, privacy, cybersecurity and business continuity, making it easy for organizations to comply with various standards and frameworks.
3. Scalability: The system is scalable and can grow with the organization, making it suitable for both small and large companies.

By using IRM360's NIS2-CSMS subscription, SME organizations can effectively meet the requirements of the CyberFundamentals Framework and the NIS2 directive, without the complexity associated with more extensive frameworks such as ISO 27001. This not only increases cyber resilience, but also strengthens the trust of customers and partners in the organization's digital security.
