Kiwa and Securance join forces on cybersecurity and risk management solutions

Testing, inspection and certification specialist Kiwa and assurance and cybersecurity expert Securance have announced a strategic partnership to jointly enhance their services in the fields of risk management and cybersecurity. This collaboration combines Kiwa's extensive certification and compliance expertise with Securance's innovative risk management and cybersecurity solutions.

Within this partnership, Kiwa will primarily focus on services such as ISO certifications, while Securance will address assurance cybersecurity issues. This complementary approach allows both companies to offer their clients a comprehensive range of services tailored to the specific goals and needs of each organization. This ensures that operations remain both resilient and compliant with current standards.

Combined expertise

Koen van der Aa, COO of Securance, is pleased with the collaboration. ‘This partnership marks an important step forward for both companies. Together, we are committed to delivering even more value to our clients by leveraging our combined expertise to meet the evolving needs of the market. I look forward to the opportunities and successes that lie ahead for Kiwa and Securance.’

Mutually strengthening

Marjolein Veenstra, cybersecurity team leader at Kiwa, is also enthusiastic about the collaboration with Securance. ‘With this step, we can serve our customers with complex certification and assurance issues even better. In doing so, we relieve our customers of the process, allowing more focus to be placed on the substantive assessment. We are also eager to explore opportunities to strengthen both the customer and ourselves in the market.’

Kiwa and Securance formalized their partnership on 27 May 2024. At Securance in Utrecht, Securance COO Koen van der Aa, Marjolein Veenstra, cybersecurity team leader at Kiwa and Michael van der Vlies, division director of Kiwa Management Systems, signed the partnership agreement.
