Objective: CYSSME aims to 1) deploy solutions developed by European CyberSecurity SMEs which have been supported by European research programs or European Member State research programs and support there uptake, to 2) serve the CyberSecurity needs of targeted European SMEs mainly in the domains of commerce, industry and highly innovative developments in Europe, with a focus on SMEs in Belgium, The Netherlands, Luxemburg, France, Germany and the Baltic states. Carefully selected SMEs will be taken on a journey after an intake discussion and a preliminary high level CyberSecurity assessment, with a number of highly experienced CyberSecurity experts. A more in-depth CyberSecurity maturity assessment will be held with a number of target company representatives, trying to ensure a proper situational insight that will serve as a baseline. A CyberSecurity mentor will be assigned to the company and a roadmap to CyberSecurity improvements will be proposed, with specific implementations, timelines and milestones including solutions, advisory, training and knowledge transfer allowing the company to become self-sufficient in a timeframe of 3 to 6 months – depending on the situation.

How we work together

CYSSME is here to be your cybersecurity partner, specifically designed for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). We offer services tailored to your business, built on proven technical platforms and solutions that meet the unique needs of SMEs.

Our focus is on providing user-friendly software, simplifying complex processes and offering the right solutions for the challenges your company faces. We engage with you and your team through the following five steps to enhance your cybersecurity capabilities.

Step 1: We listen

We take the time to thoroughly understand your business – its challenges, risks, people and infrastructure. By learning about your products, services, business model, customers and partnerships, we can create a cybersecurity approach that truly aligns with your needs. We believe cybersecurity should support your business, not be an isolated activity.

Step 2: We care

We care about your company’s values, your team and your relationships with partners and clients. We also consider your regulatory and compliance requirements. Our goal is to develop a cybersecurity strategy that aligns with your business objectives, ensuring it supports your growth rather than hindering it.

Step 3: We advise

We draw on our extensive experience in cybersecurity to provide you with informed advice. We’ve worked with many SMEs and large organisations, and we’ll use that expertise to help you improve your cyber maturity. We advise, you decide. Once you make a decision, we’ll work together to implement it and support your operations.

Step 4: We implement

Successful security projects involve people, processes and technology – always in that order. We recognise that you may not always have the necessary resources or that your team may need additional training. We’ll help establish the right processes to make things work. In urgent cases, technology might need to be implemented first to address immediate security risks. We’ll ensure that processes and people follow accordingly. We handle the implementation in your environment, working directly or with your existing IT partners.

Step 5: We mentor

Our goal is for you to take ownership of your cybersecurity over time, integrating it into your daily operations. You don’t need to become cybersecurity experts, but we’ll mentor you to ensure you can take the necessary actions and monitor controls effectively. This will help you build a robust cybersecurity posture.
