Protecting systems, data, and users from threats.
These key themes form the foundation of our Security offering at BN-IS, each addressing a critical aspect of protecting your organisation’s digital environment. From access control and threat prevention to compliance, monitoring, and user awareness, every theme is backed by actionable elements designed to reduce risk and strengthen your overall security.
Our approach is grounded in proven principles that secure your organisation without adding unnecessary complexity.
Together, these principles create a secure, governed environment with visibility and control at its core. We help organisations embed strong access and control principles into their environments. By applying clear boundaries and enforcing secure operational practices, we reduce risk, support accountability, and ensure systems are only accessed when and where they should be.
We take a proactive, ongoing approach to managing your IT security. From overseeing day-to-day operations to implementing policies and controls, we help you maintain strong defences while keeping your business running smoothly. Our services include incident response planning, vulnerability management, and continuous monitoring to ensure you stay ahead of potential threats.
Supporting organisations in maintaining a strong security posture through structured governance and continuous oversight. Our approach ensures vulnerabilities are identified early, systems remain up to date, and development practices align with secure coding standards. By embedding security into operational routines, we help teams stay protected and prepared.
Identifying and managing risk is at the heart of effective security. We work with you to understand your unique risk landscape, prioritise the most critical areas, and put practical measures in place to reduce your exposure. Through risk assessments, gap analysis, and mitigation planning, we help you make informed decisions that balance security, usability, and cost.
Helping organisations build resilience through structured, proactive risk management. Our focus is on enabling confident decision-making, reducing exposure to threats, and ensuring operational continuity. With clear frameworks and ongoing oversight, we support teams in navigating uncertainty and maintaining control in dynamic environments.
We align our work with established security frameworks – such as NIST, ISO 27001, and CIS Controls – to ensure best practice is built into everything we deliver. By using recognised standards, we provide a structured, measurable approach to protecting your organisation that also supports compliance and reporting requirements.
Aligning our security and risk practices with globally recognised frameworks to ensure consistency, compliance, and clarity. By embedding proven standards into our operations, we help organisations benchmark performance, strengthen controls, and drive continuous improvement across their environments.
Security standards provide the foundation for trust and accountability. We help you implement and maintain the right standards for your industry and objectives, from GDPR and Cyber Essentials to sector-specific regulations. This ensures your organisation meets its obligations and builds confidence with clients, partners, and regulators.
