Security

Security matters to all companies, large and small. We all access our private data over the public Internet. Security is about process, culture and risk management.

Process underpins all good IT practices and security is no exception. Without process mistakes will happen, openings will be left and the inevitable change and system development cannot be securely managed.

Security is a way of thinking and comes from the way an organisation and the individuals within it behave and think about security; it must be a first thought not a last, it must be the the company culture.

Security is also about managing risk. If you are going to use the public Internet to deliver private information accessed by multiple individuals from multiple locations using a multitude of different technologies, you will need to manage the risks appropriately: mitigate, transfer or accept.

We are fiercely dedicated to security. We apply The Bunker Protocol™ to everything we do.  This framework comprises three parts:

• Military Grade – in our underground Bunker outside the M25 in Kent and our mirror facility in Newbury, both protected by integrated processes for physical, digital and human security
• Hardened Source™–  our unique combination of open source and proprietary technologies built and integrated in-house from the source code up
• Flexible Support – our services desk uses ITIL v3 best practices for all cases, but you decide what amount of incident management is appropriate to your in-house skill set and business processes

These three pillars, orchestrated by our expert system architects and administrators, create a managed service platform that’s much greater than the sum of its parts.

The Bunker is both ISO 27001 accredited and PCI DSS certified, providing you with assurance that our security and management procedures are regularly subjected to rigorous, independent testing to ensure that they comply with stringent standards for safety, product performance, and reliability.
