WorkNest, a partner of Bira Legal which helps Bira offer members expert legal, HR and compliance support, is expanding its services by bringing cyber security specialists Bulletproof and Pentest People fully into the WorkNest brand from next month.
The move will see both businesses become part of WorkNest Secure, a new service suite designed to make cyber security, data protection and information security support more accessible alongside WorkNest’s existing employment law, HR and health and safety services.
WorkNest already supports Bira members through Bira Legal, providing expert advice on Employment Law, HR, Health & Safety, commercial legal matters, tax, VAT and business compliance, as well as access to templates, resources and legal protection services.
Bulletproof and Pentest People have been part of the wider WorkNest group since 2024, with the latest brand integration aimed at bringing all services together under one offering.
Posting on LinkedIn, WorkNest said: “From next month, WorkNest will officially welcome Bulletproof and Pentest People into the brand.”
The company said existing clients will continue to receive the same services they currently value, while gaining access to broader support through a single provider.
Also posting on LinkedIn, Pentest People added: “Our transition with WorkNest is ready for the next step.”
Pentest People said the change will allow clients to access expertise spanning cyber security, information security, data protection, employment law and HR through one joined-up service model.
Under the new structure, Pentest People and Bulletproof services will sit within WorkNest Secure, while WorkNest’s established employment law, HR and people services will form the WorkNest People suite.
The expanded offer reflects WorkNest’s wider focus on helping organisations protect both their people and their operations, combining workplace compliance support with cyber resilience and information security services.
