Space Security

Our space security team is one of the largest of its kind in the world with extensive experience from both commercial and military sectors and in all areas of the security lifecycle. We’ve been involved in the development process of international security standards such as ISO/IEC27002 and ISO/IEC 27005 and their precursors. We play a leading role in helping to advance best practice by co-chairing the security working group of the Consultative Committee for Space Data Systems (CCSDS) - the group responsible for defining the standards used by much of the world's space community.

When we work with space clients, we find they have two key requirements. They want to safeguard their people, services and assets and they also want to embed security into their organisation to give people confidence to make the most of the digital world. The solutions to these requirements typically fall into three categories, all of which are services we can provide.

Governance, risk and compliance consultancy
Compliance to the growing number of regulations and laws affecting security and data protection is critical for all our clients. But it’s not just about compliance – it is about actively managing risks and making sure people know their responsibilities for keeping information safe. Governments and major commercial organisations have trusted us for years to set up and operate their controls and procedures for managing risk and maintaining compliance to international standards.

Secure systems integration
In the space sector, new programmes bring together new teams of people needing to collaborate securely all the time. Boundaries open up between secure environments that have previously been separate. This creates a need for secure systems integration whether that be for shared applications, system architectures or infrastructures and platforms.

Managed security services
The operational cost of running a space infrastructure is growing every day. The demands on the infrastructure grow as more business processes become electronic. The resource required to continually update the infrastructure to protect against the ever-changing global threats is significant. We have delivered secure managed systems services throughout Europe for commercial and public sector organisations. Our clients benefit from a reduced cost to run their networks and be able to release their own resources to focus on their core activities in space.
