Accreditations

As a proactive member of the security fraternity The Bunker has established numerous links with a number of industry leaders. These links enable The Bunker to offer clients cutting edge solutions, equipment and expertise from a range of sectors.

These industry leaders include:

	The Sunday Times Tech Track 100 league table ranks Britain's 100 private tech companies with the fastest-growing sales over the latest three years. Tech Track 100 is compiled by Fast Track and published in The Sunday Times each September. The report, published on Sunday 19th September 2010, positions The Bunker as the 48th fastest growing UK technology company, based on significant sales growth over a three-year period.
	ISO 27001 is an internationally recognised standard which encompasses both the physical and logical aspects of information security. The standard is highly applicable to providers of IT oriented services such as The Bunker, and ensures appropriate protection of the information security assets that are important to our organisation and to our customers.
	ITIL (the IT Infrastructure Library) is the most widely accepted approach to IT service management in the world. ITIL provides a cohesive set of best practice, drawn from the public and private sectors internationally.
	PCI DSS is viewed by the payment card industry as the de facto security requirement for organisations that store, process or transmit cardholder details. The Bunker’s PCI DSS accreditation will help customers meet their own requirements when working towards PCI DSS compliance.
	Microsoft Gold Partner represents the highest level of competence and expertise with Microsoft technologies and the closest working relationship with Microsoft. The Bunker has competencies in hosting solutions, networking infrastructure solutions and advanced infrastructure solutions recognising its expertise in the marketplace.
	HP Preferred Partners are recognised through the HP Preferred Partner brand: These partners have been selected and approved by HP to deliver the right value and expertise for customers requiring the quality of service they expect. The Bunker carries certifications across HP's product portfolio, and holds specific product and solution specialisations.
	Linux is a free Unix-type operating system originally created by Linus Torvalds with the assistance of developers around the world.  Developed under the GNU General Public License, the source code for Linux is freely available to everyone.
	FIRST brings together a variety of computer security incident response teams from government, commercial and educational organizations. FIRST aims to foster cooperation and coordination in incident prevention, to stimulate rapid reaction to incidents, and to promote information sharing among members and the community at large.
	The Apache Software Foundation provides support for the Apache community of open-source software projects.  The Apache projects are characterized by a collaborative, consensus based development process, an open and pragmatic software licence, and a desire to create high quality software that leads the way in its field.  At Apache we consider ourselves not simply a group of projects sharing a server, but rather a community of developers and users.
	What began as a better way to build software–openness, transparency, collaboration–soon shifted the balance of power in an entire industry. The revolution of choice continues. Today Red Hat is the world’s most trusted provider of Linux and open source technology.
	The MySQL® database has become the world’s most popular open source database because of its consistent fast performance, high reliability and ease of use. It’s used on every continent — Yes, even Antarctica! — by individual Web developers as well as many of the world’s largest and fastest-growing organizations to save time and money powering their high-volume Web sites, business-critical systems and packaged software — including industry leaders such as Yahoo!, Alcatel-Lucent, Google, Nokia, YouTube, and Zappos.com.
	Formed in May 2002, Intellect was created to give a single powerful voice to the information technology, telecommunications and electronics industries in the UK. Highly respected by both the public and private sectors alike, Intellect members work together to help shape markets and develop new thinking in the technology sector, whilst working closely with Government to influence policy and improve industry best practice.
