VLAIO Cybersecurity Program

Since 2025, Netcure has once again been recognized as a service provider by VLAIO in the context of cybersecurity improvement projects.
Organizations can purchase support for external advice and individual guidance to increase cybersecurity.

What does the process involve?

A cybersecurity improvement process consists of:

  • a thorough (process-based and technical) analysis;
  • the drafting of an action plan;
  • space for advice/guidance in resolving identified priority safety issues.

You can choose from the following courses:

  • START package: initial analysis + action plan
  • MEDIUM package: analysis + action plan + guidance and advice on resolving a limited number of security issues
  • PLUS package: analysis + action plan + guidance and advice on solving safety issues

Upgrades to a MEDIUM or PLUS package are possible. For NIS2 companies, only MEDIUM and PLUS packages are available.

Who for?

SMEs and social enterprises

This applies to companies with a business-critical amount of IT architecture, software, or connected IoT systems, as well as companies that want to take their first steps in the field of cybersecurity and/or SMEs and social enterprises with a less complex IT/OT environment.

Please note  SMEs must comply with the European SME definition.

Non-SMEs covered by the NIS2 Directive

Please note that this only applies to companies that have yet to start setting up a robust cybersecurity policy and/or do not yet have a cybersecurity roadmap.

Amount

For SMEs and social enterprises, the VLAIO subsidy amounts to 50% of the cost of the program. For companies that do not meet the SME criteria but do fall under the NIS2 directive, the VLAIO subsidy amounts to 35% of the cost.

What is not eligible?

The following items are not eligible:

  • license fees, costs for software tools, and costs for the purchase of hardware can only be charged in relation to and limited to the duration of the specific support program and are in any case excluded as standalone items; 
  • costs related to the actual certification of cybersecurity standards by an external party (e.g., ISO27001) are not eligible;
