Services / Network & Security

A reliable network, built around your operations.

Design, delivery and management of UniFi networks aligned with your organisation’s locations, users and critical processes.

UniFi Network Management & Security

Where locations, users and applications meet.

Reliability and security are not determined by equipment alone. Architecture, segmentation, lifecycle management, monitoring and operational response determine whether a network remains dependable in day-to-day use.

NorthBridge starts with the connections the organisation depends on. From that context, we design and deliver a UniFi environment in which availability, security and operations reinforce one another.

We standardise where this strengthens continuity and management, and make necessary exceptions explicit. UniFi provides the technical foundation; NorthBridge delivers the configuration, management and integration with the wider IT service.

In 38 seconds

UniFi for SMEs: start at the right level and scale deliberately.

Internet, Wi-Fi, switching and secure access come together in one manageable platform. The video shows how U-MN, U-MNS and U-MNS+ progress from a managed foundation to security monitoring and response, periodic technical review and advice.

The outcome

Control over availability, security and change.

Visibility and control

A current view of network components, connections, capacity and relevant events.

Layered security

Segmentation, access policy and threat detection are designed and managed as one whole.

Management that keeps pace

Changes, updates and extensions are delivered in a controlled way and aligned with the organisation.

The NorthBridge service model

Three NorthBridge service levels for UniFi.

U-MN, U-MNS and U-MNS+ are NorthBridge service levels built around UniFi. They build on one another; the right fit depends on the network’s role, the impact of disruption and the need for active security monitoring, response and periodic technical review.

U-MNS+
UniFiManaged Network & Security Plus

Periodic technical vulnerability analysis, reporting and advice in addition to day-to-day management.

U-MNS
UniFiManaged Network & Security

Active monitoring, assessment and response to relevant events.

U-MN
UniFiManaged Network

A manageable, demonstrably maintained foundation for the network environment.

U-MN

UniFi Managed Network

The technical foundation is monitored and maintained centrally. This creates a current view of the environment and keeps changes under control.

  • Availability and capacity monitoring
  • Software and firmware management
  • Configuration backup and recovery preparation
  • Periodic technical health review
U-MNS

UniFi Managed Network & Security

Alongside technical management, we assess security events and relate findings to the configuration and potential business impact.

  • Active monitoring, alerting and response
  • Segmentation, firewall policy and IDS/IPS
  • Mitigating measures and controlled changes
  • Reporting on developments and findings
U-MNS+

UniFi Managed Network & Security Plus

The Plus layer adds periodic technical vulnerability analysis to day-to-day management. NorthBridge relates the technical findings to the configuration, continuity and potential business impact.

Tenable
Technical vulnerability analysis with Tenable

Tenable Nessus supports asset discovery, configuration assessment and analysis of known vulnerabilities. NorthBridge assesses the findings in their business context and turns them into prioritised measures.

This is not a penetration test. If purpose, scope and risk warrant independent penetration testing, Onvio can carry it out as a separate engagement. Read more under Security & digital resilience.

  • Periodic vulnerability analysis with Tenable Nessus
  • Asset discovery and configuration assessment
  • Risk- and impact-led reporting
  • Prioritised technical next steps

Current threat intelligence

Signals need action.

On compatible UniFi gateways, UniFi CyberSecure adds enhanced IDS/IPS threat intelligence from Proofpoint. Enhanced content and domain filtering is delivered through Cloudflare. Available features and capacity vary by gateway model, software version and subscription.

NorthBridge agrees with the customer which categories, segments and policies suit the organisation, assesses alerts and turns findings into measures. This makes detection part of the management process, not merely a technical feature.
