Cybersecurity is the prevention and protection against cyberattacks. Would you like to get started with securing your business, also known as cyber resilience, but don’t know where to begin?
Then it’s good to know that there is support available for cyber resilience: Mijn Cyberweerbare Zaak (literally translated: My Cyber Resilient Business). The subsidy is available for small companies with up to 50 employees and an annual turnover of a maximum of €10 million.
For which cybersecurity measures can you use the subsidy?
The subsidy is intended for implementing essential cybersecurity measures, such as:
- Secure network access/Wi-Fi
- Password manager
- Two-factor authentication (2FA), two-step verification, multi-factor authentication (MFA)
- Patch management
- Antivirus software
- Setting up and testing backups
- Risk inventory and evaluation (e.g., Penetration test)
- On-site cyber awareness training
- Online security awareness platform
To optimally protect our clients, we provide all of the above cybersecurity services. We help you get started quickly in three simple steps.
Step 1: Download your action plan
Discover where your company is vulnerable by completing the Cyber Security Check on the website of the Digital Trust Center, part of the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate Policy. Within three minutes, you will receive an action plan (PDF) with recommended measures.

Step 2: Request a proposal
To apply for the subsidy, you need a proposal from an ICT provider. QUBE can assist you with this. We have a service package of €2,500 ready for you. We’ve selected three essential services that appear on almost every action plan: an on-site awareness training, a security awareness platform for 20 users, and a phishing test.
