On September 23, 2025, the Government Information Security Baseline 2 (BIO2) was adopted by the Government-wide Digitale Overheid Policy Consultation (OBDO). Many government organizations are already implementing the BIO2. This leaves room for each organization and level of government to choose an appropriate implementation path. What is the BIO2? The Baseline Information Security Government 2 (BIO2) is the successor to the BIO 1.04zv. It is the updated baseline standard for information security within the Dutch government. The BIO2 offers a uniform approach and a common framework of standards for information security within the government, with risk management at its core.
