Description:
** Pre-Market Engagement** DoF IT Assist - Supply and Delivery of a SOC/SIEM for NICS - PME DOF is currently preparing to initiate a procurement process to establish a contract with an external security specialist to provide a SOC SIEM managed service that will assist the NICS in monitoring endpoint, user, and network activity with a view to identifying and advising on any suspicious or unusual actions or events that could cause loss of data or service. This collaboration will help build internal NICS capabilities to triage and analyse threats to the data and services managed for our customers. The potential scale and scope of this service is such that it offers a significant opportunity to bidders.
