We work at the intersection of Technology, Security and Well-being.

Apalala helps organisations manage security with better technology, keeps patient data secured while technology helps health professionals in their daily work, and supports the people behind it all with psychological expertise.

A Belgian company, since 2010.

Apalala Where all three meet: technology that helps health professionals in their work while keeping patient data secured.

Technology Tools, dashboards and training platforms that take the friction out of hard work.

Security Cybersecurity run as a management approach, so that protection becomes the easy default.

Well-being Psychological intervention that makes people feel better.

Technology × Security Technology that makes security easier to manage.

Technology × Well-being Technology that helps health professionals in their daily work.

Security × Well-being A management approach to smoothly implement cybersecurity.

Three kinds of expertise, one team

Most organisations buy technology, security and care for their people from three different suppliers. We keep them under one roof, because each one works better with the other two.

Technology

We build and deploy technology that quietly removes friction from security work: dashboards, tools and training platforms that make a hard job manageable, and that help health professionals do their work without ever putting patient data at risk.

Security

Cybersecurity fails when it is imposed by force. We run it as a management approach: systems, metrics and human exercises rolled out smoothly, so that protection becomes the easy default instead of a constraint people work around.

Well-being

Organisations are people. Our psychologists bring evidence-based interventions to the workplace: consultations, stress-management workshops and coaching, so that security culture grows on ground where people actually feel better.

  • Security culture
  • Psychological consultations
  • Stress-management workshops
  • Coaching sessions

Software we build and run ourselves

Some of these applications protect organisations. Others simply make everyday life easier, even when all you want is to listen to music. All of them keep your data where it belongs.

Technology × Security

  • Vigie

    Watches the integrity and availability of your websites: page changes, HTTP headers, redirects, TLS certificates, DNS, indicators of compromise and blacklists.

    Web application

  • Pathos

    Shows the AWS Inspector vulnerabilities of the container images you actually run: triage, what changed since the last scan, and the remediation debt.

  • Optical Code Lab

    Scans QR codes and barcodes and tells you exactly what they contain before you act on them, then creates new ones from plain-language templates.

A smooth path from risk to resilience

The same five steps run through every engagement, whichever pillar it touches.

  1. Understand

    We map your people, processes and technology: the real risks, not the generic list.

  2. Design

    We plan across all three pillars: the right tools, the right safeguards, the right support for the people involved.

  3. Implement

    A staged, well-communicated roll-out that is gentle on daily work: cybersecurity that people accept rather than dodge.

  4. Measure

    Metrics and dashboards show what actually changed, so that steering is based on evidence instead of anecdotes.

  5. Sustain

    Culture, coaching and consultations keep the gains alive, and keep the people behind them feeling better.

We share what we learn

Progress is only worthwhile if it is shared by all. A book, free tools, talks, source code: it is how we do our part to make the world a little better, and safer.

The book

Get Phishing Under Control is a hands-on guide to running phishing campaigns that actually change behaviour, rather than tick a compliance box.

Free tools

Applications and tools we built for ourselves and our customers, free at apps.apalala.be: no login, no credit card, no strings attached.

Talks and videos

Conference talks, videos and television reports on social engineering, security culture and the people behind cybersecurity.

Everything we share

Our values are our compass

They are more than our culture: they are how we decide, and the reason the company exists.

  • Humanity
  • Pleasure
  • Trust
  • Honesty
  • Freedom
  • Progress
  • Pragmatism
  • Efficiency
  • Beauty
