What NBIP does

NBIP (Stichting NBIP, Nationale Beheersorganisatie Internet Providers) is a Dutch non-profit foundation headquartered in Bunnik, established in 2001 by six ISPs initially to handle wiretap orders under the Dutch Telecommunications Act. Over 25 years it has expanded into a collective cybersecurity and regulatory-compliance provider for digital infrastructure operators, organized around three core platforms: NaWas, a collectively operated DDoS mitigation service routing traffic through European internet exchanges (BNIX, ERA-IX) with sFlow/Splitflow and GRE handoff capabilities; Tapdienst, a lawful interception and disclosure (LI/LD) processing service handling requests from public authorities on behalf of participants; and Clean Networks, a threat-intelligence and abuse-combatting platform paired with a code of conduct and certification label.

The organization operates a membership-based, community-led go-to-market model: digital infrastructure providers — ISPs, hosting and cloud providers, VoIP providers, and other digital service companies — become participants and gain access to the shared services in exchange for membership fees. By the end of 2025 NBIP served over 194 participants, with 131 on NaWas and 107 on Tapdienst (44 using both), spanning approximately 10 European countries. Revenue mechanics are subscription/recurring via participant dues; NBIP is funded by these fees rather than equity capital, and operates with over 20 staff under a director (Octavia de Weerdt) and a foundation board.

The product roadmap is anchored to regulatory tailwinds and European sovereignty themes: NBIP is preparing participants for the EU eEvidence regime (effective 18 August 2026) via an enhanced Tapdienst portal, is co-developing the Connect2Data project with Connect2Trust and SIDN Fund to automate technical-data collection for NIS-2/Cbw compliance, and has launched Haven, an open, supplier-independent cloud-services solution positioned within the pGDI/National Digital Structure. Strategic alliances with regulators (NCSC, RDI) and industry bodies (DINL, Dutch Cloud Community, SIDN) extend its role as a Dutch sector coordinator for cybersecurity and digital autonomy.

Scale indicators7 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• AMS-IX (Amsterdam Internet Exchange): Largest Dutch internet exchange with adjacent DDoS and peering services. Comparable as a Dutch/European network infrastructure player serving ISPs and hosting providers, though broader in scope than NBIP.
• Akamai Technologies: Global CDN and security vendor with extensive DDoS and network protection offerings. Comparable as an incumbent DDoS protection provider competing commercially with NaWas for large hosting and cloud customers.
• Cloudflare: Global hyperscaler providing DDoS protection, CDN, and security as services. Comparable as a massive-scale DDoS mitigation platform competing for the same ISP/hosting-provider security budgets as NaWas.

Direct peers

• EVE Compliancy Solutions: Dutch vendor automating lawful-interception and disclosure workflows. Listed as NBIP's Tapdienst implementation partner; comparable because it builds LI/LD tooling integrated into the same regulatory workflows NBIP operates.
• SURF: Collaborative organization for Dutch education and research institutions providing shared IT services including networking and security. Comparable to NBIP in non-profit member-cooperative model delivering shared digital infrastructure and cybersecurity.
• NL-IX (Neutral Internet Exchange): Internet exchange and DDoS scrubbing operator serving European ISPs and hosting providers. Comparable to NBIP's NaWas because both offer DDoS mitigation/clean-traffic handoff routed through internet exchange infrastructure.
• SIDN (Stichting Internet Domeinregistratie Nederland): Stichting operating the .nl domain registry. Directly comparable to NBIP as another Dutch non-profit foundation delivering shared, trust-based internet infrastructure services to participants, with similar governance and collaborative ethos.
• DIVD (Dutch Institute for Vulnerability Disclosure): Non-profit foundation coordinating vulnerability disclosure across Dutch and European networks. Comparable to NBIP's Clean Networks because both are member-funded, non-profit cooperative security initiatives tied into NCSC and SIDN Fund.

Regional players

• Belnet: Belgian government-funded internet service provider serving research and public-sector institutions. Comparable as a publicly minded collaborative ISP/security provider in a neighboring jurisdiction; relevant given NBIP's Belgian expansion via BNIX.

Emerging players

• Quova (now part of Akamai / similar IP intelligence providers): Adjacent threat-intelligence and IP/domain data providers. Comparable as suppliers of technical data and threat intelligence feeding into abuse/vulnerability workflows similar to Clean Networks.
