Dutch Data Security & Compliance Community Meetup #8
**From DLP Best Practices to Government Cloud Security with Microsoft Purview**
**Datum, tijd, locatie**
📅 Datum: Vrijdag 29 Mei 2026
🕐 Tijd: 12:30 - 17:00
📍 Locatie: RawWorks, De Vork 2, 3984 PA Odijk
**Introductie**
Tijdens deze editie van de Dutch Data Security & Compliance Community Meetup #8 staat de realiteit van data security in zowel commerciële als publieke omgevingen centraal.
We combineren twee krachtige praktijkperspectieven: de implementatie van Data Loss Prevention (DLP) binnen organisaties en een grootschalige cloudmigratie binnen de publieke sector met Microsoft Purview.
Deze middag draait om concrete ervaringen, technische en organisatorische uitdagingen en lessons learned uit de praktijk. Verwacht inzichten die direct toepasbaar zijn om jouw data security en compliance aanpak te versterken.
**Wat kan je verwachten?**
**Sessie 1 – DLP in de praktijk: Best practices en lessons learned from the field**
Martijn van Geffen (Microsoft)
DLP binnen Microsoft Purview wordt steeds complexer door de opkomst van AI en het gebruik van meerdere enforcement engines. Traditionele aanpakken schieten tekort wanneer data via AI-tools wordt gedeeld, gekopieerd of geüpload.
In deze sessie deelt Martijn van Geffen (Microsoft) praktijkervaringen met DLP-implementaties, met speciale aandacht voor DLP for AI. We bespreken hoe verschillende enforcement engines (Endpoint, Edge, Network, Cloud Apps) zich gedragen bij AI-scenario’s zoals copy/paste en file uploads — en waarom dit vaak leidt tot onverwachte pop-ups en policy-interacties.
Daarnaast gaan we in op het verbeteren van de gebruikerservaring (policy tips, Outlook customizations, oversharing notificaties) en het reduceren van false positives.
Je krijgt concrete best practices voor het ontwerpen van effectieve policies, het kiezen van de juiste engine voor AI-use cases en het beheersbaar maken van DLP in een moderne Microsoft 365-omgeving.
**Customer case – Data Security x Heerenveen**
Femke Helgering (RawWorks)
Ronald Hofstra (Gemeente Heerenveen)
Hoe beveilig je gemeentelijke data tijdens een cloudmigratie naar Microsoft 365? In deze customer case staat het data security traject van Gemeente Heerenveen centraal.
Na de migratie is gestart met de implementatie van Microsoft Purview-functionaliteiten zoals Sensitivity Labels, Data Loss Prevention (DLP) en Data Lifecycle Management. Dit bracht zowel technische als organisatorische uitdagingen met zich mee op het gebied van governance, adoptie en bestaande werkwijzen.
Femke Helgering (RawWorks) en Ronald Hofstra (Gemeente Heerenveen) delen de praktijkervaringen, keuzes en lessons learned uit dit traject. Je krijgt inzicht in hoe security en gebruiksvriendelijkheid in balans kunnen worden gebracht binnen een overheidscontext.
**Agenda**
* 12:30 – Inloop met koffie en lunch
* 13:30 – Opening door DDSCC
* 13:45 – Introductie door RawWorks
* 14:00 – DLP in de praktijk: Best practices en lessons learned from the field, Martijn van Geffen, Microsoft
* 14:45 – Pauze
* 15:15 – Customer case - Data Security x Heerenveen, Femke Helgering & Ronald Hofstra, RawWorks & Gemeente Heerenveen
* 16:00 – Ronde tafel gesprekken
* 16:30 – Borrel & netwerken (tot 17:00 uur)
**Additionele informatie**
**Parkeren**
Bezoekers kunnen parkeren bij de parkeerplaats van de Sint Nicolaas Kerk:

Franklin Park Conservatory / Columbus Brewing Company
**History**
The [Franklin Park Conservatory](https://www.fpconservatory.org/)’s roots trace back to 1852 when the Franklin County Agricultural Society purchased 88 acres of land to host the Ohio State Fair. After the fair moved to its permanent home, the city of Columbus transformed the grounds into Franklin Park in 1884. This transition shifted the space from a temporary event site to a dedicated public green space for the growing community. The park became a central hub for outdoor recreation and early civic gatherings in the neighborhood.
In 1895, the landmark Victorian-style Palm House opened its doors, drawing heavy inspiration from the Glass Palace of the 1893 World’s Columbian Exposition in Chicago. This iron and glass structure became an immediate icon, housing exotic plants that residents would otherwise never see in the Midwest. It remains the oldest part of the facility and serves as a primary link to the conservatory’s 19th-century origins. For decades, it stood as a singular testament to grand horticultural architecture in Central Ohio.
A major turning point arrived in 1992 when Columbus hosted AmeriFlora '92, an international horticultural exhibition. This massive event prompted a $16 million renovation and expansion, adding significantly more greenhouse space and the Dorothy M. Davis Showhouse. The festival put the conservatory on the international map and fundamentally changed its scale and ambition. Following the event, the facility transitioned from a city-run park to a private, non-profit organization.
In 2003, the conservatory’s identity was further defined through a long-term partnership with world-renowned glass artist Dale Chihuly. After a successful exhibition, the Friends of the Conservatory purchased most of the glass installations, creating the largest permanent collection of Chihuly’s work in a botanical setting. These vibrant glass sculptures are now woven throughout the biomes, blending art with nature. This addition helped cement the conservatory as a premier cultural destination rather than just a botanical garden.
Recent years have seen the site expand beyond the glass walls to emphasize community engagement and outdoor education. The 2018 opening of the Scotts Miracle-Gro Foundation Children’s Garden added two acres of interactive landscape designed for hands-on learning. The Scotts Miracle-Gro Company Community Garden Campus also provides local residents with space to grow their own food and learn sustainable practices. Today, the conservatory balances its historic Victorian charm with modern commitments to local ecology and the Columbus community.
**Maps of the Conservatory**
Here is the [main map](https://www.fpconservatory.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/franklin-park-zones-scaled.jpg) of the Conservatory grounds. Here's a [map of the areas](https://www.fpconservatory.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/ConstructionMap-2026.jpg) in which the Conservatory has ongoing construction (see below).
**Summary**
For this event, we'll explore Columbus's highly-rated and very popular Conservatory. As mentioned above, the Conservatory is doing renovations on parts of the facility. These renovations are scheduled to be ongoing until the Fall of next year.
Basically, no matter when you go to the Conservatory over the next 18 months, you're going to see some metaphorical orange barrels. So let's just go now.
**Tickets and pricing**
On the first Sunday of every month, the Conservatory is free for residents of Franklin County and the city of Columbus. You must bring an ID to receive this discount. (Yes, they do check.) Otherwise, tickets are $25.20.
Members of the Columbus Zoo (of which I am one) do get a discount on tickets, though I have never actually bought a ticket to the Conservatory (I've always gone on free days). I believe the discount is $4.
Parking is always free.
If you have additional questions about pricing or whether and for what you qualify, you can reach the Conservatory at 614-715-8000.
**Where we'll meet**
We will meet just outside the main entrance. I guarantee there's going to be a line. The Conservatory is always popular on free days, and especially in nice weather.
**Your GPS is stupid!**
Be careful simply typing "Franklin Park Conservatory" in your GPS and going where it tells you.
The only way to access the parking lot to the Conservatory is off of Broad Street. Unfortunately, since Google Maps is unable to find its way out of a wet paper bag, it has a tendency to want to take people to a mythical, non-existent Conservatory entrance on Nelson Road.
If your GPS does this, just drive to the north side of the Conservatory along Broad Street. Your GPS should then redirect you to the main Conservatory entrance. If your GPS doesn't, then throw your phone away\* and look for the big Conservatory sign on the south side of Broad Street between Nelson Road and Franklin Park West.
You also should be able to use the map pin I've provided, below, and it should properly direct you to where you need to drive.
\* Don't really do this.
**After the event**
After stopping to smell the roses, for those that are interested, we'll head to the nearby [Columbus Brewing Company Beer Hall](https://columbusbrewing.com/location/beer-hall/) for [drinks](https://columbusbrewing.com/location/beer-hall/#draft-list) and [lunch](https://columbusbrewing.com/location/beer-hall/#food-menu).
The Beer Hall's actual address is [200 Kelton Ave, Columbus, OH 43205](https://www.google.com/maps/place/200+Kelton+Ave,+Columbus,+OH+43205/data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x883889a94ac4acad:0xadb2e60240dbc38b?sa=X&ved=1t:242&ictx=111) (it's literally just on the south side of the Conservatory). Be sure this is where your GPS is taking you when you use it, as the Brewing Company has a taproom on Harrison Avenue that is *not* what you want for this event.
We should be at the Beer Hall by 1 if you can't make the Conservatory and just want to join us for drinks.
Saturday Mornings @ East Market
Let's grab some coffee/food and share a morning chat! The East Market has an ample parking lot and outdoor and indoor seating.
Grab a cup of coffee from Winston's Coffee & Waffles or on your way to East Market and meet us on the second floor - table behind or east of the elevator.
Per what this group is about:
"Everyone is welcome! International transplants to Columbus who want to improve language skills, Columbus residents who enjoy talking to people from other countries, and those who would like to discuss international travel and culture, and who enjoy getting together for good conversations."
