Vital Industry
IT downtime is a societal risk in vital sectors: systems must always keep running. Digital Survival Company builds IT environments without compromising on reliability or security, 24/7 from the Netherlands, certified to ISO 27001, ISO 9001, ISAE 3402 Type II and NEN7510.
Challenges within the vital industry
Vital organizations run on environments that cannot simply go offline. Many of these environments are hybrid: modern cloud services alongside older industrial systems that last for decades and are not easily replaced. This combination makes every change complex and calls for an approach where continuity comes first.
The NIS2 directive, translated in the Netherlands into the Cyber Security Act, sets explicit requirements for risk management, incident response, and the security of operational technology, including a duty of care that holds board members personally accountable. Cyberattacks on vital sectors are targeted and sophisticated: attackers know that downtime here has an immediate societal impact and that recovery takes time. Demonstrable resilience is therefore not a compliance exercise, but an operational necessity.
What we do for the Vital Industry
From network segmentation to disaster recovery. The result is an environment set up for continuity, even under peak load or targeted attacks, with demonstrable compliance with NIS2 and other sector-specific requirements. Our DevOps approach, in which the same team builds, manages, and improves, ensures incidents are handled quickly by people who know the environment.
Cloud & AI Platforms
Highly available environment with redundancy, sovereign backup, and disaster recovery as a standard component.
Modern Workplace
Secure workplace for employees, both in the office and within the operational environment itself.

FAQ
How do you handle the combination of IT and operational technology (OT)?
We approach IT/OT environments with extra care. Changes to industrial systems require a different approach than standard IT projects. Network segmentation, monitoring, and incident response are tailored to the specific risks and constraints of the OT environment.
Are you familiar with the NIS2 directive and what it means for our sector?
Yes. We know the NIS2 requirements around risk management, security of network and information systems, and incident response. Our approach delivers the technical measures and reporting needed for NIS2 compliance. Formal responsibility for compliance remains with your organization, but you have the substantiation within reach.
How quickly do you respond to a serious incident?
Response times are agreed in advance in a Service Level Agreement, tailored to the organization's risk profile. For critical incidents in vital environments, immediate escalation to a specialist who knows your environment is the standard, not the exception. We are always available 24/7, remote and on-site, entirely from the Netherlands.
