Certios was born at a time when it became increasingly clear that data centers have become increasingly important for us and this some serious problems at the same time showed. We want to help you with our knowledge and research skills to find and implement solutions.

Why do customers turn to Certios?
Smart time savings | You know that your IT strategy is important but don’t really have the time to focus on it? We can be up to speed in no time at all because of our years of experience in IT management and hardware. The result? An IT strategy that prepares your organisation for the future.
Credible budget | You’d like a sufficient budget for your projects? Clearly define what you want to achieve with this budget thanks to an IT strategy and action plan. You’ve developed a vision and you’d like an independent partner to check it for you? We will gladly do this for you.
Objective IT advice | Sellers often only provide information about hardware and software, but they are not always objective. We have contacts with several IT suppliers and can help you compare. We are also completely independent and never accept commissions.

IT privacy: a clear action plan for GDPR compliance.
Protect your employees and customers against privacy data loss or misuse with IT privacy. We will help your organisation become GDPR-compliant and avoid sanctions.

IT privacy: part and parcel of your business
IT privacy is becoming increasingly important. Obviously, you must comply with legislation – especially with the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) – to protect your organisation against sanctions. You are also at risk of reputation damage if you don’t sufficiently secure your customer data against data leaks. Your customers expect you to be GDPR-compliant and you expect the same from your suppliers. Where to start?

GDPR compliance in 5 steps
We transpose the GDPR Directive into your organisation and IT and explain how you should approach your IT infrastructure to remain compliant. We do this in 5 steps:

Awareness | We bring together the key players in your organisation and make them aware of what GDPR means for you.
GAP analysis | Where is your data stored and who has access to it? What has your organisation done to date and what must it do to be GDPR-compliant?
Implementation plan | When should you take which steps to achieve GDPR compliance and what do you need for this?
Data Protection Impact Analysis (DPIA) and Privacy Impact Analysis (PIA) | What is the risk of a data breach and how can you minimise this? What to do in case of a breach or a request for access or removal?
Privacy by design | How to integrate IT privacy in your infrastructure and processes to ensure your GDPR compliance is not affected?
The result? You need a clear action plan to become and remain GDPR-compliant so that you can use your IT privacy as a sales argument for new and existing customers.

Why customers entrust us with their IT privacy?
Specific action plan | You won’t catch us using legal jargon: we approach GDPR as IT professionals, closely monitor the latest technological developments and show you how your organisation can best protect its data, at all times, and continue to do so in the future.
Clear priorities | We map where your organisation is most at risk and start by closing these “leaks” first so you enjoy the highest level of protection as soon as possible. This buys you time for the next steps towards full GDPR compliance.
More than a DPO | We are obviously certified DPOs, but that’s not all. People, processes, hardware and software: you will better understand the bigger picture of IT privacy because of our background in IT management and infrastructure.
European network | One action plan for all your sites? No problem. We are often asked to contribute to the formulation of relevant European regulations, meaning we know them inside out. Moreover, we can rely on a European network and we’re multilingual.

IT strategy: future-proof
You rarely have time to think about your IT strategy? We study your organisation, map out a vision for its future with you and transpose it into a targeted action plan.

Our IT strategy? Tomorrow perhaps…
As an IT manager, tackling with your organisation’s daily IT challenges is a full-time job.
You rarely have the time to think about your IT strategy, even though you know that this will help you avoid downtime in the future and keep an overview of the panoply of IT trends and hypes.

What if you had a partner who:
Is familiar with the ins and outs of your organisation and knows what you want to achieve?
Knows all about the latest trends and technology and can weed out what is relevant for you?
Helps you choose the right direction and transpose it into the adequate tools?
The outcome? A clear long-term strategy and an action plan that will help you make timely and relevant changes to your IT. So your organisation and its IT strategy are always future-proof.

We would like to be that partner. Call on us for:
IT scans: know where you stand and know your priorities
Certification: obtain the certificates you need
IT vision: establish the foundation for efficient action and compliance
Project portfolio planning: invest in relevant projects
