In Defence, the situation on the ground can change within minutes. Every decision depends on digital services that work as intended — whether on base, in theatre, or with coalition partners.
In recent years, Cybersecurity has advanced rapidly, with clear policies, dedicated resources, and measurable outcomes. Service management supports many of the same systems, but hasn’t had the same focus or pace of improvement. This gap creates slower recovery, higher operational risk, and missed opportunities to improve readiness.
Fusion GBS closes that gap. With over 50 service management certified SC and DV cleared consultants, we bring strong structure, discipline and measurability to service management that Defence has come to expect from Cybersecurity. Our approach connects the two domains end-to-end — creating a single operating model that’s easier to govern, quicker to adapt, and ready to perform in any environment.
The result:

Who are Fusion GBS?
We've been delivering and integrating Defence service management for the UK MOD, NATO, and their partners for over 15 years, from deployed operational networks to enterprise-wide programmes. That experience extends to manufacturing, critical infrastructure, secure space, and large-scale service providers, where the same approach delivers measurable results.
This matters if you run services for the UK MOD, support NATO programmes, or work in the manufacturing and service networks around them. Whether it’s platforms, secure networks, or multi-agency services, we help you shift from reacting to problems to operating by design.
Our approach to defence and service management
In many organisations, service management isn’t as consistent, automated, or measurable as cybersecurity. The result? Slower recovery, higher risk, and missed opportunities to improve.
We close that gap by:
- Giving service and cyber teams a shared operational language
- Delivering measurable improvements quickly, without waiting for a major transformation
- Using an approach that works just as well in high-security and commercial settings
We do this through two complementary approaches:
Operate by Design
A proactive model for introducing new services. We ensure they are operable and supportable from the start, built on standard processes, consistent data, common tooling, and clear reporting so performance is easy to track. Every service is aligned with cybersecurity principles, enabling it to be run and defended as part of a single, integrated system.
Operate Improvement Programme
A structured approach to raising the standard of existing services. We begin with a data-led assessment of maturity and compliance to create a clear baseline, then prioritise and address risks with targeted fixes. Quick wins are delivered to lift performance quickly, followed by longer-term changes that remove barriers, optimise tooling, and increase automation for lasting improvement.

What we help our customers solve
How can we get new platforms and applications operational faster?
By streamlining onboarding for both in-house and cloud services, so they’re live with full service management integration from day one. We benchmark onboarding times, track improvements, and maintain consistency across the ecosystem.
How can we speed up problem resolution and outage recovery?
By improving incident categorisation, CMDB accuracy, and building service models that map dependencies. This enables faster root cause analysis and measurable reductions in downtime.
How do we get a clear, real-time view of service performance?
By automating data feeds from discovery and service management tools into reporting platforms. Leaders get an accurate, current picture of service health, enabling better prioritisation and faster decision-making.
How do we manage services across deployed or multi-agency environments?
By integrating systems, processes, and data so all environments operate as one ecosystem. Shared dashboards support joint visibility and coordinated responses.
How can we improve interoperability between service management and Cyber?
By aligning design and governance standards so both share processes, tools, and data. Compliance scorecards and maturity assessments keep progress measurable.
How do we cut time spent on routine incidents?
By automating common tasks today and preparing for AI-driven analysis tomorrow. This reduces manual effort, increases service availability, and frees skilled staff for higher-value work.
