BSI provide unrivalled information security and data protection services to organizations throughout central and local government, including the National Health Service (NHS).

As a leading provider of research and development, auditing services, training, data compliance, managed technology solutions and advisory services, we help organizations to build information resilience and proactively identify, anticipate and respond to cyber threats and information security risks.

We provide supply chain intelligence to more than forty world class government agencies and programs to help support and secure global trade. Protection of the global supply chain is a key strategy for today’s governments. With major risks, such as supply chain terrorism, cargo disruption, smuggling and counterfeit production, it is important for government entities to be aware and understand where the greatest threats originate in order to target suspicious cargo and secure their borders and ports. Governments must be able to proactively identify global threats and quickly respond to avoid becoming vulnerable to illicit or dangerous shipments entering or exiting the country. 

We work extensively with hospitals, care facilities, healthcare providers and pharmaceutical companies to provide innovative solutions and regulatory compliance for medical devices.
