Public Sector Application Security, Built For 2025

Ready to strengthen your application security?
Let's build a defence that's prepared for today's threats.

Threats Have Evolved. Has Your Application Security?

The threat landscape has fundamentally shifted. Whilst many organisations are still defending against yesterday's attacks, cybercriminals have moved on to more sophisticated methods that exploit the very applications your business depends on.

33% of breaches started with a software exploit

(M-Trends, 2025)

160% surge in stolen credentials

Now used in 1 in 5 breaches (Check Point, 2025)

32% of attacks exploited known vulnerabilities

Unpatched but preventable (TechTarget, 2025)

57% of breaches detected by external parties

Organisations didn't even know they were compromised (M-Trends, 2025)

"I've worked with the team at Border Street for over 5 years and absolutely rate the work they've undertaken with us at Sport NZ. They are innovators and forward thinkers, nimble, responsive, and super reliable. Probably my favourite thing they bring to the table is to challenge us with new ideas, technology, or ways of doing things differently. They're always ahead of the curve, and we often end up implementing what they recommend."
Simon Earle, Group Digital Channels Manager, Sport New Zealand

Why Border Street Is Different

We built these packages around what actually causes breaches in 2025, not yesterday's threats. Whilst other providers focus on generic IT security, we specialise in the specific vulnerabilities that cybercriminals are actively exploiting right now.

Public Sector Expertise

Specialised knowledge of government and public sector security requirements

Proactive Approach

We prevent breaches before they happen, not just respond after

Transparent Reporting

Clear, actionable security reports you can actually understand
