Hunkering Down in The Bunker
You may have seen that just under a month ago I started a new role at The Bunker. I’ll forgive you if you’ve never come across The Bunker before, I hadn't either until this year. I remember on a number of occasions people joking to me that it sounded as though I was talking about an actual bunker, I would pause and then rather awkwardly tell them it was indeed an ex-MOD nuclear bunker I was talking about.
The key idea behind The Bunker is to provide ultra-secure, highly available facilities in Ash and Newbury where companies can house their most critical business operations. A military grade bunker 30 metres underground does of course provide a supreme level of physical security, but in reality The Bunker is much more. The Bunker was originally founded in 1994 by experts in Security, Cryptography and Open Source who amongst other achievements wrote Apache-SSL, the basis of most SSL-enabled versions of the Apache HTTP Server. This heritage in open-source expertise remains with The Bunker to this day enabling 24/7 support in monitoring, managing and developing applications to meet customer’s needs.
Past this physical and digital level of security The Bunker has a very human edge. Businesses trust The Bunker to house their critical business operations (such as payments, healthcare systems, government information) as they need to comply with strict regulations to maintain compliance. A term I’ve heard a lot since joining has been 'auditable assurance' – referring to the transparency and ability for customers to satisfy regulators, themselves and their consumers that they have done everything in their power to protect important data. As such The Bunker is regularly audited by top 4 accountancy firms. I’m certain that with the General Data Protection Regulation coming in on the 25th May next year The Bunker is well positioned to further assist businesses who value what an increased level of data security gives them.
If you'd like to learn more about The Bunker check out the website or drop me a message and I'll be happy to have a catch up.
