The mission for tSF

A major challenge is the open nature of our facility. New visitors, training groups and international partners arrive daily, often using our guest network. This places high demands on the segmentation between public and internal networks. We must ensure that internal systems, data platforms, medical networks and management systems are completely shielded from the public domain, without sacrificing ease of use for visitors.

There is also the need for regular security audits and pentests to verify that our measures still meet the ever-changing threats.

The assignment for tSF consisted of a thorough audit and pentesting of our internal IT environment, network segmentation and access security. They were tasked with identifying vulnerabilities and making recommendations to make our IT environment more resilient.

tSF provided us with a very practical and clear report with findings that were immediately applicable. Among other things, they detected some misconfigurations in firewall rules and network segmentation that would otherwise have gone unnoticed. Their advice led directly to structural improvements in our IT architecture.

Why the Security Factory

We chose tSF because of their reputation in the Belgian security sector, their focus on pentesting and their practical approach. They speak the same language as our technical and operational teams, and they understand that a secure environment must not only be “secure by design,” but also workable and efficient. tSF’s approach was professional, transparent and solution-oriented. Unlike some parties who limit themselves to “pointing out” problems, tSF actively thought through feasible solutions that fit within our operational context. Their communication was clear, and they were always available for clarification or consultation.

Their expertise, coupled with a realistic view of IT environments like ours, makes them an ideal partner for any company serious about its cyber resilience. They are also very flexible and open-minded allowing them to move smoothly and kept to the predefined timeline. Creating internal awareness through an applicable exercise also had a big impact on colleagues.
