The Government Service Special Information Security Order 2025 (VIRBI 2025) has been officially published in the Government Gazette. This update provides a tightened and improved standards framework to keep classified information secure. Consider, for example, state secrets.
Threats have increased significantly in recent years. VIRBI 2025 is consistent with this. It provides guidelines appropriate to the current threat landscape and technological developments.
With the adoption of VIRBI 2025, the security of sensitive government information is permanently secured. The decision marks an important step in strengthening the digital and physical resilience of the Rijksoverheid. View the publication in the Government Gazette.
VIRBI 2025 updates the existing 2013 VIRBI. The revision has been aligned government-wide. Chief Information Officer Rijk (CIO Rijk) coordinated the process, along with a working group of experts and representatives from various departments. VIRBI 2025 was previously adopted by the Council of Ministers.
