Cybersecurity is a low priority for many small businesses. A third of them don't take any measures to protect themselves against cyberattacks. To help entrepreneurs implement cybersecurity measures, the "CyberVeilig Check" for the self-employed and SMEs has been launched. For small businesses experiencing financial hardship, the temporary "Mijn cyberweerbare zaak" subsidy program is available.
"Mijn Cyberweerbare Zaak" in short
- For entrepreneurs with 1 to 50 employees and an annual turnover of up to €10 million.
- This subsidy can be applied for a substantial number of basic measures within the Cyber Security Check.
- 50% of the purchase price and/or implementation costs, up to a maximum of €1,250.
- Applications must be submitted until 5:00 PM on Friday 31 October 2025, and will be awarded on a first-come, first-served basis until the maximum budget of €1 million is reached.
More information about this subsidy program for small businesses can be found on the website of the Netherlands Enterprise Agency (RVO.nl):
