Services
Bulwark takes day-to-day IT management off your hands, like any good MSP. The difference is the chain behind it: every tool, every cloud and every partner falls under European ownership and European law.
Email, calendar, files, chat and video calls on European or open-source software, hosted by us or by a European provider. We manage laptops and phones, roll out updates and make sure a new colleague can get to work on day one.
Your servers and applications run with European cloud and data centre providers that are not subject to foreign disclosure laws. Or in your own server room, if you prefer. We design, build and manage.
Firewalls, switches, Wi-Fi and VPN form the outer wall. We divide the network into zones, manage it centrally and keep its configuration under version control, so every change can be traced.
A backup is only worth something if the restore works. We keep backups encrypted and immutable inside the EU, in a different place from the original, and we rehearse restores regularly.
Who can access what? We manage accounts, passwords and multi-factor authentication (MFA) on an identity platform under your own control, not in a foreign cloud that can be switched off remotely.
You do not unwind dependencies in a weekend. We map where you depend on whom, start where the risk is greatest and migrate in steps, with training for your people.
How we work
Many IT partners deliver a migration and move on to the next client. On delivery day everything is right; after that the world changes, but the environment does not. We keep going round.
Which systems, vendors and jurisdictions are in your environment? We make them visible.
A target architecture and a sequence: the biggest risks first.
Migration in manageable steps, without bringing work to a halt.
Monitor, patch, test and adjust. Then map again.
Security
Detection and response, penetration testing and incident response are handled by Merlon, our sister company for sovereign cybersecurity. The whole chain stays European, from the workplace to the security operations centre.
Dependent without knowing it?
A first conversation is an inventory: which vendors, tools and jurisdictions sit between you and your data? You get an honest picture, even if the conclusion is that you are in better shape than you thought.
