BITS Cybersecurity Framework v1.0

The BITS Cybersecurity Framework v1.0 is a business-aligned security model that translates complex standards like NIST, HIPAA, PCI, and CMMC into clear, actionable controls. Designed for SMBs and MSPs, it prioritizes risk reduction, operational efficiency, and scalability using plain language and measurable outcomes.

Business Change Tolerance Overview

Business Change Tolerance (BCT) is a proprietary score from BITS Cyber that measures how well a business adapts to change. It’s based on the maturity and impact of implemented controls. Higher BCT means greater agility, resilience, and growth readiness. Unlike compliance checklists, BCT reflects real business performance.
