Secure by Design
Build cybersecurity into operations
Assess gaps, strengthen controls, and keep evidence ready for audits, buyer reviews, and ongoing delivery.
A FD Gazelle Award Winner (2023 & 2024)
Secure delivery. Clear evidence. Follow-through
When security needs structure
This is for teams that already know security matters, but need clearer ownership, evidence, and a route forward.
No defensible security baseline
You have security activity, but no clear view of what is exposed, what is controlled, and what needs to change.Evidence is scattered across teams
Questionnaires, audits, and frameworks ask for proof faster than your team can collect, validate, and explain it.Findings are not fully closed
Issues get logged, but ownership, remediation follow-up, and retest evidence keep slipping after the first report.
Not sure which route fits?
What Secure by Design means at Sunbytes
Control what exists
We map systems, ownership, access, and known risks before recommending action. Security work starts from the current environment, not a generic checklist.
Prove what works
Controls need evidence: policies, screenshots, reports, logs, sign-offs, or remediation records. The output must answer buyer and auditor questions.
Keep it current
Security changes as systems, vendors, and teams change. The right model keeps baseline, evidence, and remediation priorities updated over time.
Security pressure is business pressure
Security work only matters if your team can answer three questions: what is exposed, what needs fixing, and what evidence proves control.
Buyer pressure: questionnaires need consistent answers and reusable proof.
Audit pressure: frameworks need mapped controls, owners, and evidence.
Delivery pressure: findings need ownership, remediation, and closure.
Secure by Design turns those pressures into routeable work: baseline, readiness, care, or specialist validation.

From security question to evidence
-
1. Clarify the pressure
We identify whether the driver is a buyer request, an audit target, a security baseline gap, or an ongoing ownership problem.
-
2. Map the current state
We review what exists, what can be evidenced, what is missing, and which gaps need technical or operational action.
-
3. Activate the route
We recommend the right route: CyberCheck, Compliance Readiness, CyberCare, or a specialist service when deeper validation is needed.

DevSecOps and NIS2: what Dutch companies must do before July 2026
DevSecOps NIS2 readiness means proving that your software development process has working security controls, not just written policies. Before July 2026, Dutch companies in scope for the Cyberbeveiligingswet need evidence for Article 21 controls such as secure development, supply chain security, access management and effectiveness testing. For engineering teams, the practical evidence usually comes from […]

NIS2 penetration testing requirements: what Article 21(2) compliance looks like
NIS2 penetration testing is not a checkbox exercise. Article 21 does not name one single testing tool that every entity must use. It requires organisations to handle vulnerabilities and assess whether their cybersecurity risk-management measures work in practice. That distinction matters. A vulnerability scan can tell you that a known weakness exists. A DAST scan […]

NIS2 implementation roadmap: a 12-week plan for EU SMEs
A NIS2 implementation roadmap should turn the directive into a sequence your management board, IT team, compliance lead, and suppliers can execute. For most EU SMEs, the work does not fail because Article 21 is unknown. It fails because scope, risk assessment, remediation, evidence, and board approval happen in the wrong order. This 12-week plan […]
