Municipalities
Give officials the confidence so they can make a difference in residents’ lives
Your colleagues are always available to residents. Whether it’s issuing a building permit, registering a newborn or supporting people in debt. Civil servants make a difference in people’s lives and they love doing it. Behind the mostly digital services provided by municipalities is a lot of human work.
Working with personal information is therefore the order of the day. The congregation would like colleagues to handle sensitive data with care. But at the end of the day, you still regularly see closets open and computers unlocked. You want to raise awareness in the organization.
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.

Developments within municipalities
Many municipalities are concerned about protecting personal data and disrupting ICT systems. Security and privacy incidents can temporarily prevent service to citizens. On the one hand, new technological developments such as the Internet of Things, big data and Smart Cities are leading to advances and new opportunities. On the other hand, they create more complexity when it comes to information security. In this way, municipal organizations and their administrators face a challenge.
In most municipalities, privacy and information security are already on the agenda. In practice, it often means that specialists and policymakers include the topic in their work files, but an integrated approach is still lacking. It is important that the topic receive wider attention among employees and become part of the culture of the organization. The new AVG regulations and the transition from BIG (Baseline Information Security Municipalities) to BIO (Baseline Information Security Government) provide a good incentive for this at the moment.

Co-Creation Solutions (Free)
Especially for municipalities that want to get started with digital security and privacy, we have developed several co-creation solutions. Established with other municipal CISOs. These campaigns can be deployed free of charge and directly help their own organization and all municipal employees in the Netherlands.
