BIO, DigiD, audit trails — compliance as the starting point, not an afterthought

Software for the public sector

Compliance is the Starting Point

BIO classification, DigiD integration, audit trails — in government software, these are not an afterthought. ten Bruggencate Development builds these requirements in from the architecture phase. Logging, access control and traceability sit in the foundation, not in a layer on top.

Modernising Legacy Without Breaking Operations

For Pleio — the social intranet platform for government bodies — work was carried out on scalability and migrating legacy architectures to modern Symfony stacks. Earlier public-sector engagements (pre-2018) include senior backend development at Logius on the high-performance, high-availability backend of MijnOverheid.nl, with connections and APIs to DigiD and the Kadaster — covered on the About page. The same pattern every time: incrementally modernising existing systems while daily operations continue uninterrupted.

One Developer Who Knows the Landscape

Government IT is complex — not because of the technology, but because of the context. Established standards, multiple stakeholders, legacy systems that have been running in production for years. That reality is understood. Monolithic PHP applications are incrementally transformed into modular architectures, fully documented and traceable.

Frequently asked questions about Software for the public sector

BIO requirements are addressed from the architecture phase. That means risk analysis, layered access control, incident management and audit trails in every development phase — not as a checklist, but as a design decision.

Yes. Direct DigiD experience was gained through senior backend work at Logius on the MijnOverheid.nl backend (2017–2018), including connections and APIs to DigiD and the Kadaster. New implementations follow current Logius documentation and eIDAS requirements, tailored to the specific security guidelines of the respective service.

With strict access controls, encryption and audit logging. All data processing complies with the GDPR and sector-specific guidelines — that is not optional, that is standard.
