Combination of process expertise and technical evidence provides organizations with complete compliance pathway and clear insights into human & technical results.
VEENENDAAL, November 26, 2025 – Lupasafe, provider of cybersecurity awareness and compliance solutions, and Samen Digitaal Veilig, a collaboration of industry and professional organizations, MKB-Nederland and VNO-NCW that supports companies in complying with the NIS2 directive, announce their partnership. The parties are joining forces to support organizations with NIS2 and NIS2 Quality Mark (QM) compliance through an integrated approach covering people, process, and technology.
Cybersecurity is no longer an IT problem; it’s a business risk that impacts every layer of your organization. Make sure you’re certified. QM is the Dutch certification system based on NIS2.
There are 3 QM levels:
- QM10 (Basic) – Basic cybersecurity level
- QM20 (Substantial) – Medium risk level
- QM30 (High) – Highest security level
Why is the NIS2 Quality Mark important? The NIS2 directive includes “supply chain responsibility.” Large companies must ensure their suppliers also work in a cybersecure manner.

The Challenge Many organizations in the supply chain of NIS2 companies have the compliance framework on paper but get stuck when auditors ask for concrete evidence. “We see organizations struggling with the question: how do you demonstrate that employees actually work in a cybersecure manner? That’s where a gap often emerges between policy and proof,” says Han Veldwijk, CEO of Lupasafe.
The Partnership In the new partnership, Samen Digitaal Veilig handles the strategic process: from compliance framework to implementation and certification. Lupasafe provides the technical foundation with measurable data from security awareness training, phishing simulations, vulnerability scanning, and automated compliance reporting.
“With Lupasafe, our platform can offer a complete package. SMEs can provide evidence that they work securely, in line with the risk they face in the NIS2 customer’s supply chain,” says Henk Bijsterbosch of Samen Digitaal Veilig.
Urgency With an estimated 50,000 to 100,000 Dutch companies falling directly or indirectly under NIS2 legislation, demand for reliable compliance pathways is high. “Compliance without evidence is worthless paper. This partnership ensures organizations don’t get stuck at audit time and keeps costs low,” says Veldwijk.
For Whom The partnership targets organizations that:
- Are active in the supply chain of NIS2 companies
- Pursue NIS2 or QM10/20/30 certification
- Seek an integrated approach to compliance process and technical evidence
