Sales and Bid Support

Blackfoot delivers cybersecurity expertise that enables successful sales of products and services

Cybersecurity is a key consideration for businesses when selecting new products and services. Potential customers need to know that the products and services they buy meet high cybersecurity standards and do not introduce new cyber-risks into their business.

As supply chain risks continue to rise, organisations are responding by imposing more stringent due diligence processes onto their suppliers, as part of the initial bidding process and throughout the purchasing and product/service lifecycle.

As a result, the bidding and sales process must be guided by the right expertise to ensure that cybersecurity is not a barrier to a successful sale.

Blackfoot can provide you with cybersecurity expertise to help you construct compelling bid proposals and complete customer due diligence and cyber assurance activities for successful sales.

How does cybersecurity support the sales and bidding process

Any technology-based product or service has the potential to introduce cyber-risks to an organisation. As a result, most businesses require assurance from solutions and service providers that their products and services are secure.

Technology product and service providers must be able to demonstrate that their solutions do not present a cyber-risk to their prospective customers, and must be able to clearly articulate any relevant security impacts and how to mitigate them.

Many businesses do not have the right expertise in-house to navigate the cybersecurity aspects of complex bidding and procurement processes imposed on them by potential clients. However, failing to respond appropriately during these processes can prevent a successful sale.

We value what our customers think of us

Blackfoot are authentic, hard-working, flexible and committed. Finding a partner who has our best interests at heart, one who tries to find solutions that work for us as a customer is like gold-dust. I now consider Blackfoot as part of my trusted partner network for any future projects.

"As our business has expanded so quickly, we have had to learn and implement new policies, processes, controls internally and externally, upskill staff and manage 3rd parties differently, it’s been a heck of a learning curve. During the onboarding and kick off meetings the support exceeded what I was expecting. The support from Blackfoot was amazing."

I was very impressed with your project managers persistence and attention to detail. She clearly understood the technical side of the testing and was very patient and polite when chasing up due to slow / delayed responses on our side. Overall, the approach gave me confidence that the testing was being planned carefully and that Blackfoot were helping us get the best out of the plan.

"I’m pleased to have seen the account progress, I know your consultants have dedicated a lot of time to the project and I’m excited to report back to their transformation director in the new year around their latest level of data security and privacy maturity based on the investment they have made"

“ I would like to add my thanks as in previous years you have really supported us and helped us to renew our certification and the entire process has been smooth and painless, we are most grateful."
