💬 Security Delta (HSD) director Joris den Bruinen was recently interviewed for Bureau Gateway on the practice of Gateway Reviews and the value they can offer. 🖥️ In all Gateway Reviews, digitalisation plays a role. Whether digitalisation is explicitly included in the question or not, it always affects the content, process, relationships, culture and success rate of intended change to some extent. 🔒 Digitalisation can no longer be separated from careful attention to security. Although awareness of this is now fairly widely shared within the government and private world, this does not mean that security is always in order.
