Security Strategy
Long-term security strategy for a resilient future
Security strategies are often triggered by critical events such as security audits or significant organizational changes. BNC is your partner to respond flexibly and sustainably to these changes. Whether it involves new compliance requirements or restructuring, we develop tailored security strategies based on the zero-trust principle. Through a thorough analysis of your current infrastructure and the interplay of awareness measures and system implementations, we help you create a balanced security architecture that can respond to future threats.
We combine the requirements from your security office or CISO with the practical needs of your engineers and the demands of the entire business. This ensures that all perspectives are taken into account and that your security strategies are effectively integrated into everyday work.
Our approach involves a deep understanding of the concerns of all stakeholders. We recognize that the needs of executives, technicians, and business units vary. This understanding enables us to develop tailored solutions that are accepted and supported by everyone.
With over 25 years of experience in implementing IT projects, we bring a wide range of expertise in the areas of networking, security, and data management.
Our vendor-neutral consulting ensures that we select the best solutions for your specific requirements without being influenced by specific product interests.
Implementation of Zero Trust
Zero Trust cannot be implemented simply through products; it requires a fundamental shift in the approach to IT security. BNC supports you in this transition through customized concepts, awareness measures, and system implementations. We follow a risk-based approach to prioritize your activities and plan them in line with your budget and available personnel resources. Together, we develop a clear plan for your Zero Trust journey.
Achieving a Balanced Security Architecture
The security architecture of many organizations has often evolved historically and reflects responses to new threats. Budget constraints have frequently influenced the selection of solutions. A long-term cybersecurity strategy enables the establishment of a thoughtful and flexible architecture that is oriented towards current risks and can dynamically adapt to new challenges.
Protection against attacks
Achieving 100% security is unattainable without significantly impacting your organization. BNC aims to strengthen your defenses and resilience so that the remaining residual risk is acceptable and does not endanger the continuity of your organization. We offer a structured approach to transition from analyzing your existing environment to achieving a balanced target state. Our security strategy outlines the path to reach this goal within a reasonable timeframe, given the existing constraints.
Meeting compliance requirements
Current compliance regulations, such as the Data Protection Act or the NIS-2 Directive, often seem cumbersome to implement. However, with an Information Security Management System (ISMS) based on ISO 27001, these requirements can be met efficiently and easily demonstrated. BNC assists you in creating, adapting, or reviewing your ISMS and outlines the necessary steps to achieve compliance with the relevant standards and regulations.
Maximierung des Security-GewinnsMaximizing Security Gains
Maximizing "security gains" is an important goal that we consistently strive for. However, we understand that this can be a challenge within real budget constraints. Therefore, we aim to achieve the greatest possible benefit with the available resources. Through a detailed gap analysis, we identify where your budget can have the most significant impact, assess your current security situation, and collaboratively prioritize the next steps. Based on this, we create an implementation plan that serves as a roadmap for the desired improvements in the coming years within the cybersecurity strategy.
Conclusion: At BNC, Experience Meets Expertise
BNC combines over 25 years of experience in implementing IT projects with a deep understanding of the needs of various stakeholders. We support you in strategic planning, especially during times of significant changes, such as new compliance requirements (e.g., NIS-2 or ISG), IT infrastructure refresh projects, strategic organizational changes, or major events like mergers.
Risks often become apparent through events such as successful attacks on competitors, internal audits, security audits, penetration tests, or within the framework of risk management. Our vendor-neutral consulting enables us to develop tailored solutions that perfectly combine the requirements of the security office, the needs of engineers, and the goals of the business. You can rely on our extensive expertise in networking, security, and data management for a sustainable and effective security strategy.
FAQ Security Strategy
-
Why is a long-term strategy critical to success in the fast-paced IT environment?
A rigid strategy can be a serious obstacle in the dynamic IT world. However, due to rapid changes, it is crucial to develop a long-term strategy. This approach helps maintain an awareness of essential risks and implement a balanced security architecture that can flexibly respond to new threats.
-
Is a security platform strategy not always the most efficient?
A security platform strategy is often marketed by security vendors as a comprehensive portfolio that ideally aggregates information from various disciplines, such as endpoint, network, and cloud security, to identify attacks and data breaches more quickly and effectively.
While this is certainly not a bad approach, we believe it falls significantly short of a comprehensive cybersecurity strategy. This technology-centered approach overlooks many important aspects, such as user awareness, incident response planning, and supplier security.
-
What is the difference between the nDSG and GDPR?
The new Swiss Data Protection Act was heavily based on the GDPR and has been accepted by the EU as equivalent. One of the biggest differences is that penalties can be imposed not only on companies and organizations but also primarily as personal fines. These significantly high amounts of up to CHF 250,000 per violation can affect executives who fail to address regulations and directives to employees and their training, as well as the employees who violate such directives.
-
What is the difference between NIS-2 and ISG?
The Swiss Information Security Act and the European Network and Information Security Act overlap in many areas. The differences lie in the details and are implemented differently in each EU country.
BNC's approach is to establish a central system for security management that is compatible with the various frameworks and allows for compliance documentation for each country without complicating the structures and processes.
