Eigenaar Mica Verzekeringen (Alkmaar / Haarlem)

I came across Maikel Roolvink on LinkedIn, and the way he presented the material really appealed to me. After a cup of coffee and a good conversation about our shared vision of making small and medium-sized businesses much more cyber-resilient, I decided to sign up for a cyber resilience subscription with Brandaris.

“Mica is an insurance agency for SMEs and larger SMEs. As an agency, we believe it’s important to make our clients aware of risks. Because cyber threats are a pressing concern right now, we’re working to raise awareness among SMEs. We believe it’s important to address the technical aspects of this as well, and of course, a cyber specialist is better equipped to explain those. In addition, we also needed to take steps to strengthen our own cyber resilience.

Since we deal with cyber risks on a daily basis, we’ve built up a great deal of expertise in this area. And yet… even I’ve noticed that you can fall for something if you’re not paying close attention and aren’t adequately protected. For example, I recently received a notification about a fake invoice and discovered that I had actually paid it last year—before I signed up for my subscription with Brandaris. Now, messages like this are intercepted right away. The team is also more vigilant thanks to the awareness training. It’s especially reassuring to be well-protected and—if things do go wrong—to at least be covered for the financial consequences.

I think Brandaris’s personal service is truly top-notch. If necessary, someone will come by to take a look. Plus, they’re genuinely involved in the local community and don’t have a “profit-over-people” mentality. I highly recommend them. A sincere and ethical company.

What has Brandaris done for Mica Verzekeringen?

We audited the Microsoft 365 environment to ensure that everything is configured securely and that there are no vulnerabilities. We then set up a security system that monitors the environment around the clock and takes immediate action if anything suspicious occurs.

Employees regularly receive short simulated attacks and training sessions so they can learn how to recognize cyber threats and respond appropriately. We’ve also set up a backup system so that data can always be restored in the event of an incident. In addition, we ensure that all MacBooks are automatically and continuously updated with the latest security patches.

We provide all these measures through our cyber resilience subscription. This ensures that Mica Verzekeringen is structurally better protected against digital threats, without having to deal with these issues on a daily basis.
