General information
The Internet Cleanup Foundation is a foundation established in 2016. Our goal is to strengthen online resilience. We achieve this by providing transparency through surveys and measurements. This transparency strengthens the availability, integrity and confidentiality of information offered via the Internet.
Our security measurements are published on the Basic Security platform. This has motivated many organizations to become more secure and helped solve tens of thousands of vulnerabilities in all kinds of important sectors. This improves the privacy and online security of all Dutch people.
Basic security has been part of national government policy since 2022. The project can be found in the Action Plan Dutch Cybersecurity Strategy 2022-2028 of the NCTV, the Work Agenda Value-Driven Digitalization of the Ministry of the Interior and Kingdom Relations and various letters to parliament. We work together with the Center for Information Security and Privacy Protection.
The foundation conducts independent research on online safety. The foundation derives income from grants, research assignments and participant partnerships. Many of the foundation’s activities run on volunteers. Such as measuring new audiences, performing new measurements and managing domains of organizations. The foundation’s online infrastructure is sponsored.
The transparency and openness created with Basic Security is deeply rooted in our organization. For example, the Basic Security platform is open source and measurement results and datasets with domains can be used under a free license.
Friends of the Internet Cleanup Foundation include our participants, the Dutch Hackerspaces and the Dutch Institute for Vulnerability Disclosure.
