About us
Resilience by Design. Progress with Purpose.
CTRL Disrupt isn’t just another consultancy. We help organisations design, build, and sustain real resilience — not just pass audits or chase trends.
Because resilience isn’t a buzzword.
It’s a capability you can design.
— Gijs Brandenburg, Founder
What CTRL Disrupt Stands For
CTRL protects the downside. Disrupt enables the upside.
CTRL is about control — of risk, uncertainty, and operational exposure. Disrupt is about courage — to challenge convention and build bold futures.
We help organisations take control, so they can become the disruptors in their industries — not the disrupted.
To help you design, implement, and own resilience, we make sure our advice is grounded in academic rigour as well as real-world results. That’s why our consultants bring experience, hold academic degrees, and are certified by recognised organisations such as ISACA, (ISC)², and The SABSA Institute.
Vision
“To leave the world better than we found it — every single day.”
Mission
We strive to excel in making organisations more resilient — especially those that serve the public good.
Ambition
To become the leading European partner in risk management and security services.
While our current focus lies in digital resilience, we are actively expanding to cover the full risk landscape.
Because the threats of tomorrow won’t stay in silos — and neither will we.

Meet the Founder
“CTRL Disrupt was founded on the belief that real resilience can be designed — not just improvised. We’re here to help you own it.”
With eight years of experience in information security, enterprise architecture, and risk governance, Gijs Brandenburg brings both depth and practical clarity to CTRL Disrupt. He has advised local, national and international organisations, including government bodies, financial institutions, and technology companies, on aligning risk, architecture, and security with strategic objectives.
He holds a BSc in Information Security Management from The Hague University of Applied Sciences, where he wrote his thesis on Enterprise Security Architecture within financial startups in The Netherlands.
He later earned an MSc in Enterprise IT Architecture from Antwerp Management School, specialising in Secure Enterprise Architecture, and is currently completing a second master’s in IT Management at the same institution. His ongoing research focuses on risk-based acquisition and integration of IT managed service providers (MSPs).
Gijs holds professional certifications including CISSP, CISA, CISM, CRISC, and SCF, and serves as a board member of the Architecture Interest Group within the KNVI, the Royal Dutch Association for IT Professionals, where he contributes to the advancement of enterprise and security architecture practice in the Netherlands.
CTRL Disrupt was founded to bring together academic rigour, real-world execution, and architectural thinking — and to prove that resilience can be intentionally designed and owned.
How We Work
One Goal. Three Ways to Get There.
Advice
Clarity before commitment: We help you make informed, risk-based decisions with sharp insight and structured analysis — so you act with confidence, not guesswork.
Implementation
From plan to progress: We design and deliver secure, aligned solutions — from architecture and governance to risk and compliance controls.
Management
Resilience as a capability: We manage key domains — or embed certified consultants into your team — to help you stay secure, compliant, and adaptive over time.
All of our work is grounded in our Resilience Core: Governance, Risk, Strategy, Transformation, and Compliance.
Let’s Make Resilience Your Advantage
Whether you need direction, execution, or continuity — we’re ready to support you.
