BIO (Baseline Information Security Government) Managed Hosting

For organizations in the public sector, business-critical applications are indispensable. They form the heart of digital services to citizens, companies, and chain partners. Think of customer portals, registration systems, or internal platforms for policy implementation. The reliability, availability, and security of these systems are crucial. Shock Media fully complies with the framework of the Baseline Information Security.

What is the Baseline Information Security Government?

The BIO is the government-wide framework for information security. It serves as the mandatory standard for central governments, municipalities, provinces, and water boards. The BIO is based on the international standard ISO/IEC 27001 and defines concrete security requirements in the areas of confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information.

For government institutions and their suppliers, this means they must demonstrably meet strict security standards. Shock Media offers fully Managed Cloud solutions in which these requirements are secured.

How does Shock Media comply with the BIO?

Our cloud infrastructure and processes are designed according to the highest standards for information security, quality, compliance, and privacy. This is periodically assessed and assured by independent external audits. Thus, we not only meet the ISO 27001, NEN 7510, and ISO 9001 standards, but also provide extensive SOC 2 and ISAE 3402 Assurance reports. By meeting these internationally recognized certifications and assurance standards, we offer a broader foundation for information security, quality assurance, and compliance:

• ISO 27001 – International standard for managing information security.
• NEN 7510 – Dutch standard for information security in the healthcare sector.
• ISO 9001 – International standard for quality management and process improvement.
• SOC 2 – International Assurance standard for IT service providers focused on security and privacy.
