Description
The Planning Inspectorate is seeking proposals from qualified and experienced suppliers for the provision of penetration testing services. As a Public Sector organisation, we recognise the importance of safeguarding our information assets, protecting our infrastructure, and ensuring the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of our systems and data. In response to the evolving cyber threat landscape and the need to maintain robust security assurance, the Planning Inspectorate's requires the delivery of penetration testing services to proactively identify vulnerabilities, assess the effectiveness of existing security controls, improve resilience across services, and mitigate risks posed by potential cyber threats. Through the identification and remediation of vulnerabilities, the services will assist in reducing the likelihood of a costly data breach or disruption to business operations, and in turn enable the appropriate identification, assessment, and management of cyber risk across the organisation. This requirement is also informed by applicable security and regulatory expectations, including alignment with recognised government guidance and assurance schemes for penetration testing, ensuring that Planning Inspectorate continues to meet expected standards for secure system operation and risk management.
