Are you looking for a way to protect your information without locking everything down? With the Cbw now in force, more organizations than ever need to get this right — Omni-U, led by NIS2 author Michiel Benda, helps you find the protection that actually fits your business.
Do you want to handle information security properly? Then the first step is to determine which risks you find acceptable. This is especially urgent now that the Cyberbeveiligingswet (Cbw) — the Dutch law implementing the EU’s NIS2 directive — took effect in August 2026, bringing new registration, risk-management and incident-reporting duties for thousands of Dutch organizations.
Are you doing enough or maybe even too much to protect critical information? Are your employees frustrated or do you find them bypassing security? Then the security measures are probably insufficiently aligned to your work processes. Omni-U supports you in finding the right balance between protection and employee experience.

Information manager RIBW
We have drawn up a risk inventory and, on the basis of this, took action, further refined policy, implemented a management system and developed measures. Omni-U has left us at the helm, but has supported us in an expert manner with knowledge and material.
J. Leenders
CISO Ardo Group
While working on an Information Security Program for the Ardo Group, Michiel’s knowledge and experience were of great value. I can highly recommend Omni-U and their no-nonsense approach to anyone working within Information Security and looking for consultancy.

Michiel is a motivator, inspirator, an engaging trainer but above all a team player and wonderful guy. As former security student we challenged each other to make the EC-Council C|CISO program even better and it worked out excellent.
