The Splynter methodology
At Splynter we want to provide you with the best possible service. To achieve this we apply the following principles in all our work!
Effective
Solutions provided by Splynter are relevant and necessary to secure your organisation. They are risk- and threat-based. If a solution does not actually offer additional protection against a threat relevant for you, we won't advise it. That saves costs and benefits security. We have the necessary technical, regulatory and governance knowledge to put boots on the ground and provide solutions with a tangible and lasting impact.
Trustworthy
We build on top of industry standards, best practices and top-notch academic research, ensuring trustworthy security. This is possible by having well-educated Splynters at your disposal with a strong theoretical foundation and an ardent willingness to learn, including the first generation of Belgian students formally educated in cybersecurity.
Structured
We help build a solid and strong foundation for security. The strong security foundation helps you grow digitally without worries, because it makes it easier to secure future IT systems as well. Through this structured approach, we aim to make your security posture explicit and to make you resilient. The strong and future-proof security foundation helps you grow digitally without worries.
Vendor-neutral
Splynter's approach makes abstraction of the software vendors you are already using or will be using in the future. By focusing on security requirements for tools and applications, we give guidance to assess which options would fit your organisation's needs, while the vendor selection remains fully under your control.
Holistic
Our services address the security of your whole organisation. They consider all IT systems, networks and applications, the complete development life cycle, and both on premise and cloud environments. The foundations we lay are multi-domain, covering all necessary angles.
Compliant
Our security solutions are attuned to relevant cybersecurity regulations to automatically ensure compliance with DORA, GDPR, NIS2,...: we ensure compliance through security, not security through compliance.
Well-integrated
Splynter has a collaborative approach towards reinforcing your security posture. Our intent is to work together with your internal teams and partners towards a foundation that integrates well with your existing processes and tools. Furthermore, none of our solutions depend on Splynter's continued presence. To ensure a lasting impact, we educate and coach your own teams so they can confidently contribute to your security posture, building further on the security foundations put in place.
Secure by design
In any environment, and especially in complex ones, adding security as an after-thought is unreliable and costly. To avoid this, Splynter focuses on having security by design, embedding it in design phases and in the architectural layer. We make it achievable to have security by default.
Understandable
Cybersecurity is a vast multi-faceted domain often found complex and overwhelming. We strive to bring clarity in complexity through understandable and achievable solutions. That is possible because Splynters aren't just experts in their field, they are also educators, trained to make the incomprehensible comprehensible.
