The CyberFundamentals Framework was developed by the <a href=\"https:\/\/ccb.belgium.be\/en\" rel=\"noopener\">Centre for Cybersecurity Belgium (CCB)<\/a>. It provides measures to protect data, reduce the risk of cyberattacks and strengthen organisations\u2019 cyber resilience.<\/p>\n<h2>An important step towards NIS2 compliance<\/h2>\n<p>This accreditation enables Brand Compliance Belgi\u00eb to conduct conformity assessments that meet accreditation requirements. This is important for organizations that fall under the NIS2 directive. Obtaining a CyFun verification statement can lead to obtaining a CyFun\u00ae label, which demonstrably certifies compliance with the NIS2 directive in Belgium.<\/p>\n<h3>Accreditation for CyberFundamentals<\/h3>\n<p>\u201cThis accreditation confirms our competence and impartiality regarding our services,\u201d says Pieternel Vorstermans-Janssen, Chief Compliance Officer at Brand Compliance Belgi\u00eb. \u201cFor Belgian organizations that are serious about their digital resilience, now is the time to start implementing CyberFundamentals.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Time for Action<\/h2>\n<p>Has your organization been designated as an essential or important entity under the NIS2 directive? Then now is the time to take action. Verification based on the CyberFundamentals Framework is a practical and feasible tool for fulfilling the duty of care under the NIS2 directive. CyberFundamentals may also be of interest if you have business relationships in the Belgian market.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/brandcompliance.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/CyFunFrameworkEN-1024x460.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-24892 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/brandcompliance.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/CyFunFrameworkEN-1024x460.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"460\" srcset=\"https:\/\/brandcompliance.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/CyFunFrameworkEN-1024x460.png 1024w, https:\/\/brandcompliance.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/CyFunFrameworkEN-300x135.png 300w, https:\/\/brandcompliance.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/CyFunFrameworkEN-768x345.png 768w, https:\/\/brandcompliance.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/CyFunFrameworkEN-1536x689.png 1536w, https:\/\/brandcompliance.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/CyFunFrameworkEN-360x162.png 360w, https:\/\/brandcompliance.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/CyFunFrameworkEN-600x269.png 600w, https:\/\/brandcompliance.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/CyFunFrameworkEN.png 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>ISO 27001 certification and CyFun<\/h2>\n<p>In addition to CyberFundamentals, it is sometimes also possible to obtain a CyFun\u00ae label with <a href=\"https:\/\/brandcompliance.com\/en\/services\/iso-27001-certification\/\">ISO 27001 certification<\/a>.
