Vincent Meijer , CISO at Ordina , explains why security should be built in , not bolted on
“ W e are a local player ,” says Vincent Meijer , CISO and Head of Information Security at Ordina . The Netherlands-based IT solutions company is heavily focused on the Benelux market , perhaps surprisingly in a world of globalised solutions . But for Meijer it is key to delivering value .
“ We talk about areas of expertise , but we get even more value because we are a local player . We understand Dutch , Belgian and Luxembourgisch culture and how things work out there and we focus on building expertise and knowledge of certain branches – sectors – in these countries .
“ We have a deep understanding of those kinds of businesses which , added to our expertise , can really move them forward and put them a step ahead . You can have just the expertise and fold it into a context you don ’ t understand , but you will only bring the company forward in a technical way . We look at it a little bit more holistically and see how we can deliver a total concept or solution by combining expertise from all our company .”
