About us
Who are we?
In 2007, as digital threats became increasingly serious, Paul de Vlieger and Wilfred van Roij decided to take action. They founded Digitale Opsporing BV in Horst, aiming to protect companies from cybercrime. What began as a small team of five people has grown into a leading digital forensics firm. As a licensed private investigation agency, operating under POB number 1182, we are pioneers in the field of Internet investigation.
In 2012, we expanded our training activities by opening a modern 1,000-square-meter practice hall in Sevenum. This gave us the opportunity to train even more professionals in digital research and cybersecurity.
In 2017, we proudly celebrated our 10th anniversary and made returning to Horst extra special. We opened the doors of our new office of about 1,000 square meters, where everything comes together. Here you will find our classrooms, office spaces, a gymnasium, our state-of-the-art digital forensics lab, and even a cozy café – all under one roof! This unique setting allows us to continue our research with the latest technologies, while creating an informal and inviting atmosphere for our trainees. A place of learning and coming together!
Now, more than 16 years later, we focus on four main pillars: Software, Training, Cybersecurity and Digital Research. With our team of about 20 experts, including professionals with police backgrounds, we provide customized solutions to today’s digital challenges. Our clients, such as insurers, financial service providers and (semi)government agencies, rely on us to protect their data and solve complex digital problems.
Today we are more than just a company. We are a community of specialists who work together, value honesty and are always looking for innovation. Our ambition is to remain an important player both nationally and in the Euregion within our area of operation.
What we do?
At Digitale Opsporing, we are committed to the security of organizations in the fight against digital crime. With four pillars, we guide companies and professionals in navigating the complex digital world:
Software
With our cloud solution iRC (internet investigation in the cloud), we offer secure, anonymous and AVG-proof internet investigation without the need to install any software on your system. Our dedicated browser provides access to trusted research programs, including the OSINT toolkit, which allows you to conduct automated searches of open sources, databases and the darkweb. All actions are automatically recorded so you can easily comply with laws and regulations. Through the Digiportal platfom you can securely view and share this logging, which helps prevent abuse of the system.
Trainings
We believe that knowledge is the foundation of digital security. That’s why we offer various training courses, including OSINT, IRC and Crypto training. Our classrooms and spacious practice facilities are designed for an optimal learning experience, where theory and practice come together. We offer hybrid options so that participants can participate both physically and online, at various locations throughout the Netherlands. Through practical case studies and hands-on experience, professionals learn how to use advanced tools for effective digital research.
Cybersecurity
In a world full of digital threats, our team is ready to protect organizations. From performing penetration tests to preventing phishing attacks, we make sure your systems and data are secure. We help identify risks, improve information security, and create a disaster recovery plan. We also support organizations in recovering after a cyber-attack so you can get back up and running quickly.
Digital research
When something goes wrong, speed is crucial. Our team of forensic investigators tracks down every digital trace, whether it’s data on hard drives or digital communications. We always work accurately and discreetly, respecting our clients’ privacy.
At Digitale Opsporing, we are your trusted partner in protecting your organization from the challenges of the digital world. We are committed to a secure future and ensure that our customers’ data is handled in a professional and safe manner. With our ISO/IEC 27001 certification for information security and ISO 9001 certification for quality management, our customers can be confident that we legally secure and carefully manage their data.
