When the GIN applies to your office

Notary offices handle sensitive personal and financial data, making them an attractive target for cybercrime.

The KNB expects offices to have information security structurally in place, not arranged ad hoc.

  • There is no structured overview yet of information security measures within the office

  • A KNB assessment is scheduled

  • The office is growing and processes need to keep pace

What oversight from the KNB can mean

A data breach at a notary office affects particularly sensitive data, with a major impact on clients and reputation.

Insufficient information security can raise questions with oversight from the professional body.

What the framework practically requires

The GIN requires practical baseline information security measures, matched to the size and way of working of a notary office.

  • Access control to client files and systems

  • Security of data exchange with clients and chain partners

  • Staff awareness and training

  • A process for handling incidents

  • Periodic evaluation of the measures
