Care, Education and Housing

Organizations manage increasing amounts of personal data.

Organizations manage increasing amounts of personal data to properly serve customers. Patients, residents, students and other associates expect their personal and sensitive data to be handled safely and properly.

Employees do their best. They have busy jobs and other issues that demand their attention. There is sometimes little time left to learn about the topic of digital security and privacy. And the specialists are not always easy for the CISO to reach. You are looking for a way to ensure digital security and privacy in the organization in a sustainable way.

Increase Cyber Awareness

Brooklyn Partners understands human action like no other. We take people along and make the subject appealing, relatable and tangible. Because only when people are aware of the opportunities and risks of the digital world, and aware of their own actions, are they open to changing attitudes and behaviors. A way of acting emerges that becomes one’s own. This is how we develop and increase their digital intuition.

Brooklyn Partners offers several solutions. Always tailored to organizational culture, ambition and current resilience level. Our Approach 100% Cyber Aware is an integrated approach. In two to three years, we provide sustainable behavioral change and cultural change. The result is an organization where colleagues can confidently be online, dare to voice their opinions, hold each other accountable and inspire safer work.

Technological developments at Healthcare, Education and Residential Institutions

Many educational institutions operate digital learning environments where students take lectures, tests and track their study progress online. Technological innovations are expected to further digitize education in the near future. Examples include Virtual Reality in the classroom, gamification of teaching materials and data-driven learning using Big Data. The new developments also provide a new dimension in the area of information security and privacy. Educational institutions have a legal and moral duty to continue to safeguard student privacy. In healthcare, the amount of patient data is growing and there are many technological solutions to share this data (interoperability). Specialists and institutions are exchanging more and more data.

Housing associations and mediation organizations are also increasingly providing services digitally. Ease of use is paramount. Housing seekers, tenants or landlords should be able to easily handle things themselves digitally. This requires a transformation of the organization when it comes to information security. It is important for organizations to be digitally resilient. Especially when there is more and more sensitive data to protect from smart homes.

A society with Smart Cities is currently in full swing. Smart homes in which we can use technology to live a lot more sustainably are an important part of the smart city. They contribute greatly to a future-proof society. But for housing associations and other housing organizations, it also raises new issues. They are tasked with safely handling the mountains of additional data we collect through new technologies.

Unfortunate data breaches can publicly call into question the professionalism and reliability of the organization. Investing in a digitally resilient organization is therefore essential.

"They are young, enthusiastic and smart tacklers. What was very nice was the clarity Brooklyn Partners gave about the process and that agreements made were always kept."
