Cyber Security SME Services
BSS utilises a combination of permanent staff and trusted SME associates to deliver the works.
Our associate network enables us to deliver outcomes across a wide range of areas, utilising handpicked experts.
When expertise is required in a new area, BSS can assist by leveraging the reach of our parent company, Barclay Simpson, which is highly established in the recruitment of permanent and contract cyber security professionals.
Our associates are typically engaged under a Statement of Work (SOW) to deliver outcomes, so they are not classified as employees under IR35. Our service delivery function provides a delivery wrapper ensuring that the SOW is maintained if change notices are required, and quality assurance/peer review is built in when needed.
Security Change and Transformation
Cyber security presents a wide range of challenges to UK corporates. CISOs and their functions are constantly needing to respond through the delivery of change and transformation, either responding to new threats or delivering fit-for-purpose cyber security to a changing business.
BSS supports change and transformation by providing security squads to deliver change or expert SME input to design, manage or provide assurance of change.
