Safe Together: Securing Van Oord’s Supply Chain | With Edwin Franse, CISO at Van Oord

October 31, 2023

Innovation is a key component of the business formula and philosophy at Van Oord. Cyber security is in this regard no exception. Edwin Franse, CISO at Van Oord, has put in place a resilient security system based on best practices in the industry, recognized as such by both peers and certification providers.

A very important part of Van Oord’s security is the security of the hundreds of suppliers and partners that Van Oord works with. Not only could a breach at one of these companies put Van Oord’s security in jeopardy, supply chain security is also one of the focal points of recent regulatory interventions. But how can one steer away from extensive questionnaires and assessments that are time consuming and resource intensive? Edwin Franse will elaborate on this and shares his thoughts and approach
