The "Consistent Inspection Picture of Cybersecurity Vital Processes 2023" is a document by Dutch regulators that addresses the state of cybersecurity within vital processes and critical infrastructures in the Netherlands, based on inspection results from 2022. The report highlights risk management as a critical focus for increasing digital resilience, including securing logical access and addressing risks within supply chains. It also identifies challenges for regulators, particularly with the implementation of new European directives such as NIS2 and CER, which expand the scope of supervision to more sectors and physical risks. Supervisors plan intensified cooperation at both national and European levels to deal more effectively with the growing complexity of cyber threats and the expansion of their tasks. The document includes detailed overviews of individual surveillance results by organization, demonstrating ongoing efforts and areas for improvement in cybersecurity. The overarching goal is to strengthen the digital security of essential services in the Netherlands.
