Hegeman Bouwgroep integrates cybersecurity into its core operations

When André la Rivière took on the role of Managing Director at Hegeman Bouwgroep on March 1, 2024, he stepped into a dynamic construction company with 130 employees, specializing in residential construction, real estate development, sustainability, and renovation. With the motto 'Better Every Day,' Hegeman Bouwgroep is committed to innovation and quality. However, in today’s digital world, this also means facing new challenges: cyber threats.

For André, cybersecurity was not just an IT issue—it was a strategic priority. How do you ensure the security of business processes and data? How do you keep management and employees consistently vigilant? This is where MMOX came in.

Since 2023, Hegeman Bouwgroep has been working with MMOX to stay ahead of cyber threats. André quickly saw the added value:'As Managing Director, I am responsible for the safety and continuity of our organization. MMOX serves as a trusted advisor for us. They don’t just provide advice—they help us navigate the complexity of cyber threats. This gives us peace of mind and helps us understand the risks we face.'

Significant consequences

'Our collaboration with MMOX is not just about implementing technical security measures—it also ensures that cybersecurity becomes embedded in our organization,' André explains. 'Cybersecurity must always be on the agenda. If an incident occurs, the consequences can be severe. You simply don’t want that.'

André values the long-term partnership and broad expertise that MMOX brings. 'It’s not just about technology or a single department—it’s about the entire company. We work with MMOX not only to secure our systems but also to raise awareness among our employees. Cybersecurity is not a side issue for us; it is a fundamental part of our operations.
