We do things differently


In 2008 our founders had spent the previous decade working in the IT service industry. They had grown frustrated with its shortcomings, from inflexible contracts to poor customer service and product-first approach. So they founded Backbone Connect, driven by the belief that they could serve customers better by doing things differently. 

Our commitment to Security: ISO 27001 Certified 

At Backbone Connect, security is our core focus. In today's dynamic digital landscape, safeguarding sensitive data is paramount. Our ISO 27001 certification validates our unwavering commitment to data security. This approach ensures risk management, cyber-resilience, and operational excellence.

Our commitment to sustainability: ISO 14001 compliant 

ISO 14001 sets out the criteria for an environmental management system. It maps out a framework that a company or organization can follow to set up an effective environmental management system. Designed for any type of organization, regardless of its activity or sector, it can provide assurance that environmental impact is being measured and improved.

EPD (Environmental Product Declaration) Certified solution 

An EPD (Environmental Product Declaration) transparently presents the environmental impacts of a system, product, or service, backed by third-party validation and Life Cycle Assessments (LCAs). Backbone Connected Building's EPD certification, evaluated by BRE Global, supports achieving high BREEAM ratings. For excellent fibre connectivity and BREEAM success, reach out to explore the benefits of our Connected Building solution.

Backbone Connect Achieves Investors in People Gold Award

Our status as a Cisco Select Provider Partner highlights our commitment to delivering top-quality Cisco-powered services. 

Fortinet Partnership 

Backbone Connect has teamed up with Fortinet to provide Secure SD-WAN (Software Defined Wide Area Networks) & SASE (Secure Access Service Edge) solutions. This single-vendor approach benefits organizations seeking consistent security and user experience for both in-office and remote employees. In today's hybrid landscape, where direct Internet access is vital, security is paramount. As a top Gartner quadrant vendor, Fortinet, combined with Backbone Connect’s expertise, offers a secure path for your business, regardless of how or where your team connects.
