One assessment, one plan
Identity, devices, data, tenant and Azure assessed against Essential Eight, ISM and Microsoft benchmarks with a single prioritised plan.
Security
Security posture reviews and managed uplift
A posture review tells you where you stand. Managed uplift gets you to the target and keeps you there as Microsoft, your organisation and the threats change.
The problem it solves
Why organisations look at Security Posture and Uplift
Unknown current state
Secure Score, audit findings and vendor reports disagree and nobody owns the answer.
Uplift that stalls
Findings are accepted, a few are fixed and the rest wait for the next audit.
Controls drift
Settings change, exceptions accumulate and maturity quietly falls.
Where BD-S adds value
More than a product install
Uplift delivered, not recommended
Findings remediated by BD-S engineers in an agreed order with evidence of closure.
Maturity that holds
Monthly posture monitoring, drift detection and a standing improvement backlog.
Reporting for leadership
Plain-language maturity reporting for executives, audit and risk committees.
Services
Advisory and implementation
Security posture review
Assessment, findings, risk rating and roadmap.
Uplift program
Remediation delivered in sprints with evidence.
Managed security uplift
Monthly monitoring, maintenance and improvement under a service agreement.
Zero Trust roadmap
Target architecture across identity, device, application and data.
