CyberFundamentals Framework
CyFun: The key to cybersecurity for every business!
What is CyFun?
The CyberFundamentals (CyFun) Framework is a practical and accessible model developed by the Centre for Cybersecurity Belgium (CCB) to enhance organizations' cyber resilience and ensure compliance with Belgian law and the NIS2 Directive.
The CyFun framework helps companies of all sizes and industries protect themselves against cyber threats!
Why is CyFun important?
Since October 18, 2024, the NIS2 legislation has been in effect in Belgium. This means that an increasing number of organizations are required to strengthen their cybersecurity.
Company directors are now personally liable in the event of a cyber incident. Non-compliance with the NIS2 directive and CyFun standards can result in severe fines.
With CyFun, organizations can implement concrete measures to enhance their cybersecurity and comply with NIS2.
How does CyFun help your organization?
✔ Simple guidelines for improved cybersecurity
✔ Risk analysis to identify vulnerabilities
✔ Step-by-step guidance to reduce the risk of the most common cyberattacks
✔ NIS2 compliance without complex regulations
✔ Flexible and scalable – start small and progress to a higher security level
How to apply the CyFun framework in your organization?
The CyFun security model consists of four assurance levels, based on your company's size and risk profile. Each level includes specific measures to assess and improve cybersecurity step by step.
| Level | Description | Number of CyFun measures | % of Cyber threats covered |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMALL | Entry-level for small businesses and micro-enterprises | ± 10 recommandations | Basic security |
| BASIC | Standard protection suitable for SMEs | ± 50 | 82% of cyberattacks |
| IMPORTANT | Advanced security against targeted attacks | ± 120 | 94% of cyberattacks |
| ESSENTIAL | Highest level, required for critical sectors and large enterprises | ± 200 | 100% theoretical protection |
