Braanker Logistics Stays Ahead in Cybersecurity with MMOX

As a logistics service provider, Braanker Logistics relies on numerous software systems—each bringing its own set of risks. The company has always understood the importance of strong cybersecurity. But what happens if a hacker still manages to break through? To prevent that scenario, Braanker took a closer look at its cybersecurity—this time with the help of MMOX.

A complex software network

"Braanker Logistics is a one-stop shop for logistics solutions," says Managing Director Tony Faro. 'From (inter)national road transport and warehousing to air and sea freight, we cover it all. But that also means we operate within a highly complex software landscape. There isn’t a single system that supports all our services, so we use fleet, warehouse, and transport management software, as well as specialized systems for financial administration. On top of that, we log in to various external portals where we exchange data. Keeping that secure requires not just technical measures, but also well-structured security processes and employee awareness.'

Proactive security measures

'Cybersecurity has always been a non-negotiable for us—especially given our global operations and extensive software usage. But when our account manager at ABN AMRO introduced us to MMOX, we realized we needed to step up even further. MMOX challenged us with a key question: did we have an incident response plan? In other words, what’s our plan if we do get hacked?'

Striving for the best

Why take cybersecurity so seriously? "Because if you get hacked, your entire business shuts down,' Tony states. 'Beyond that, we also want to demonstrate to our customers and prospects that our cybersecurity is top-notch. MMOX recommended we go through the Cyber Essentials program—an internationally recognized certification. After a year of dedicated cybersecurity improvements, we recently achieved that certification. Now, with MMOX’s support, we’re working toward NIS2 compliance. It’s not mandatory for a company of our size, but we’re choosing to go the extra mile.'

Guided every step of the way

'One of MMOX’s key strengths is how they start with a risk assessment and help you prioritize accordingly. That ensures you're tackling the most critical issues first. For us, that meant implementing two-factor authentication, strengthening password policies, and conducting anti-phishing training. We’re also diligent about keeping all software up to date.'

End-to-end support

'Cybersecurity is incredibly complex,' Tony emphasizes. 'From the moment we started working with MMOX, their expertise was evident. They break cybersecurity down into manageable steps and guide you through the entire process—from risk assessment and prioritization to protection and ongoing resilience. Plus, MMOX is always on standby in case of incidents. But what really sets them apart is their focus on the human aspect—ensuring that the right people are involved at the right time and fostering company-wide buy-in. After all, these investments only make an impact if the entire organization is on board.'
