Success starts with security. Choosing the right security partner should never carry the same stress as having to deal with a security breach. BUI makes use of the NIST CSF framework which was designed with the intent that individual businesses and other organizations use an assessment of the business risks they face to guide their use of the framework in a cost-effective way.
Our Approach
BUI follows the NIST Cyber Security Framework and we included four of the five Core Functions from the NIST CSF: Identify, Protect, Detect and Respond, because BUI can help with most of the subcategories under those four high level functions. With BUI as your cyber security partner, you’ll not only be able to leverage our experience and expertise – to protect what matters most to you, your digital assets.
What we can help you achieve
The most effective way to protect against exposure to vulnerabilities is to develop intelligence around your assets via assessment and to harden these systems to minimise your attack landscape. We will help assess your cybersecurity program.

Want to embed cyber security at the heart of your business?
We can help you protect your digital assets. The cyber ecosystem is become very complex and lightning fast. While it’s necessary to invest in protection, incidents will occur. Rapid response is key to minimising brand damage and financial loss. Protection, detection and response are interdependent. Leading practice needs a cohesive relationship between technology risk, information security, forensics and operational teams.
