Willy Danenberg

Led a strategic program at ING Belgium to strengthen operational resilience in alignment with the EU Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA), focusing on backup, restore, synchronization, ransomware protection, and data consistency recovery across all Critical Business Systems (CBS) and dependent Critical Banking Applications (CBAs). I coordinated end-to-end readiness assessments and technical upgrades, working with IT infrastructure, cybersecurity, compliance, and continuity teams. Developed structured data collection tools, controls, alerts, and monitoring mechanisms using standardized checklists and technical questionnaires, later evolving into an automated monitoring solution. Defined and validated RTOs and RPOs, mapped restore dependencies, and implemented mechanisms for post-restore data consistency validation across systems. Contributed to architectural coordination and DevOps processes, supporting integrated recovery workflows. Designed ransomware recovery protocols using immutable storage, offline vaulting, and data integrity checks. Ensured auditability and governance through regular reporting to management and internal audit. The program enhanced ING’s resilience, reduced risk exposure, and ensured compliance with DORA, GDPR, and NIS2, backed by a deep understanding of cross-application data flows and enterprise recovery architecture.
