About BITS
Built by people who got tired of security being somebody else's problem.
Nigerian organisations are digitising fast. Banking, government services, health records, payments. The attack surface grew faster than the people defending it.
We kept seeing the same pattern. One firm builds the app. Another tests it, months later, after launch. A third writes a continuity plan that nobody has ever rehearsed. And when something breaks at 2am, all three point at each other.
BITS, Building Innovative Technical Solutions, was set up in 2025 to close that gap. Offensive security, defensive operations, continuity planning and engineering in one firm, so the people who know how systems fail are in the room when they're designed.
We're deliberately small and senior. You won't get a partner at the pitch and a graduate on the job. The people who scope your work do your work.
How we operate
Six rules we don't bend.
Trust is the whole product in security work. Here's what you can hold us to.
Attackers and builders share a desk
Our pentesters review the code our engineers write. Our engineers fix what our pentesters find. Security knowledge flows into every project instead of arriving as a surprise at the end.
Reports written for the people who fix things
Every finding ships with proof, business impact and a specific fix. And a one-page summary your board will actually read. No 200-page PDFs of scanner output.
Built for how Nigeria actually works
Unreliable grid power, fibre cuts, dollar-priced cloud bills, CBN circulars and the NDPA. We plan around local reality instead of copying a London playbook.
No vendor kickbacks
We don't take referral fees from software or hardware vendors. When we recommend a tool, it's because it fits your problem, not our margin.
Your secrets stay secret
NDAs before scoping, encrypted evidence handling, data destroyed on completion and we never name clients without written permission. Discretion is the job.
We tell you what you don't want to hear
If your plan won't survive a real incident, or you don't need the expensive thing you asked for, we'll say so. Early and plainly.
Work with us. Or work here.
We're always talking to strong pentesters, SOC analysts, cloud engineers and developers. Send your work to hello@bits-innovate.com.
