FAQ

Key answers about CyFun®, CyberFundamentals, certification, verification and NIS2 compliance.

What is NIS2?

NIS2 is an EU directive strengthening cybersecurity requirements for certain organisations. In Belgium, its transposition includes risk-management measures, incident reporting and management responsibilities. The obligations depend on the organisation’s circumstances.

What is an accredited body?

Accreditation recognises a body’s competence for specific activities defined in its accreditation scope. What a Work SRL is accredited by BELAC under number 770-VV against ISO/IEC 17029. Accreditation concerns the body and covered activities; it is not certification of the client.

BELAC — 770-VV
What do you receive after verification?

You receive a report setting out the work and conclusions. Following independent review and a decision, a verification statement is issued according to the outcome. The claim is what you submit; the verification statement is the document issued by the body.

How does a CyFun® audit work?

The engagement starts with a review of the scope and feasibility. After agreement, we plan the audit, examine the self-assessment and evidence, and carry out the planned activities. An independent review and a decision conclude the process.

Which documents should you prepare?

Prepare your scope, claim, CyFun® self-assessment and supporting evidence: policies, procedures and records demonstrating that measures have been implemented. The precise list depends on the level and engagement. Your team or service providers prepare these items.

How long does verification take and what does it cost?

Timing and fees depend on the scope, CyFun® level, number of sites and availability of evidence. We provide a quote after reviewing your request. A standard price or timeframe cannot replace that review.

Does CyFun® verification mean full NIS2 compliance?

It helps demonstrate the measures assessed, but does not cover every NIS2 obligation by itself. Incident reporting, governance and other applicable duties still need to be met. The assurance level must match your circumstances; Basic verification does not replace Essential certification where required.
