  • NCSC Certified Cyber Security Company - Bridewell was one of the first companies to be certified by the NCSC for Risk Assessment, Risk Management and Audit & Review services. Underlining this certified status is a team of Cyber Security Certified Professionals, case studies that demonstrate our experience to the NCSC, and methodologies which are described to industry leaders and deemed of sufficient quality.

This has ranged from using security frameworks for the UK Pensions Regulator, the Health sector and independent assurance for the Office of National Statistics and National Records Scotland. Bridewell has also delivered supply chain assurance programmes for some of the largest government departments in operation, ensuring a risk-based approach to supply chain assurance. 

  • Expertise and Outcomes on Demand - We aim to work with our clients to ensure they have access to the right expertise based on their requirements and achieve the outcomes required, rather than assigning a single consultant who may only be able to deliver a certain set of outcomes. By operating a flexible commercial model that enables our clients to access the range of Bridewell capabilities, our clients achieve the outcomes they require.

Bridewell has successfully led clients through the planning, implementation and maintenance of certifications and compliance requirements. 

 

Key Challenges Addressed

For organisations in government, the wider public sector and critical national infrastructure, it is challenging to find suitably accredited and experienced consultants that can deliver cyber security projects at scale. This can be problematic given that these organisations may lack the technical expertise and resources necessary to ensure security is embedded throughout their operations.  

Even with existing certified individuals, it is often challenging to find individuals and companies with vast expertise across the technical or unique environments such as multiple private clouds, hybrid cloud, DevOps environments and operational technology.  This is where Bridewell’s expertise is applied to enable  clients to achieve effective and successful outcomes.  

Without access to the appropriate skills and capabilities, businesses often have an incomplete understanding of their cyber security posture, risk mitigation, and the potential impact a security incident could have on their operations. This makes it difficult to maximise the value of their cyber security investment, conduct risk assessments, and ensure they achieve compliance with relevant regulatory frameworks. Utilising skilled and experienced consultants enables a business to achieve it’s goals effectively and on the first attempt, often in support of achieving strategic business objectives or to fulfil compliance requirements.
