Security Academy

The Security Academy is a training institute that focuses specifically on the fields of information security, business continuity, privacy & data protection and crisis management. Our motto is “Practically applicable knowledge”. We strongly believe in offering training courses in which practice plays a leading role. Partly for this reason, in addition to certification training courses from IAPP, (ISC)2 and ISACA, we have also included the SECO-Institute certification trajectory in our portfolio.

Security Coaches

Security Coaches fulfills a need from the market to make organizations more independent in the field of cybersecurity by guiding / coaching internal security employees in the workplace with various issues that arise during daily practice in the complex world of cybersecurity. Our coaches understand like no other the challenges that come with the rapidly changing field.

We truly believe in the power of experience and a personal approach, and therefore offer coaching that specifically matches the needs of our customers.
