As of November 2024, we are officially FSQS-NL certified – and that’s something we’re genuinely proud of. But let’s take a moment to explain what this actually means. What is the FSQS-NL certificate? And more importantly, what does it mean for our clients?
What is the FSQS-NL Certificate?
We’ve earned the FSQS-NL certificate, which stands for Financial Services Qualification System – Netherlands. FSQS-NL is a community of financial institutions, including banks and insurance companies. Through FSQS, these institutions can ensure that their suppliers and partners meet strict legal and regulatory standards around data security and compliance.
Thoroughly Screened for Data Security
We received the certificate after an in-depth screening process. Think of it as an extra layer of assurance for our workflows and security policies. The assessment also covered our compliance practices – including employee screening, customer interactions, and our overall sense of corporate responsibility.
The Benefit: No Additional Audits Required
The FSQS-NL certificate is proof that we meet the highest quality standards and guidelines set by the financial sector. More and more clients are asking for additional checks on the data security of our Brand Portal software. This certification confirms that we are a trustworthy and secure partner when it comes to risk and compliance management. As our Security Officer Marcel Braakman explains:
"This is also a big plus for new clients. They don’t need to audit Capital ID themselves – the screening has already been done. That makes the entire procurement process a lot smoother."
So yes, this is a real milestone for us – and we celebrated with a little FSQS party at the office!
