Description

The objective is to ensure that Ofwat has a secure, robust and managed network infrastructure in place that satisfies the CESG and their PSN accreditation and Ofwat’s Internal Auditors.

The areas of expertise or services that we may require are:

• CLAS consultants with expertise in accrediting organisations to the PSN; • Penetration testing and system health checks (compliant to security standards and CESG’s CHECK service); • Computer and server forensics; • Auditing; • Security policy advice and support (and any legal interfaces); • Information risk, the information assurance maturity model (IAMM) and the information risk return to Cabinet Office (that now includes the Security Policy Framework [SPF] return); • HMG Cyber security initiatives; • Network Access Security; • Boundary security and remote working security; • Encryption of information assets at rest; • Mobile device security; • Email encryption and web security; • Website security; • Business continuity; • Cloud security principles and their implementation; • Security strategy and vision; and • Training and education across the areas listed above.

The support service we are looking for must be a flexible agreement where we can contact the supplier at short notice and request help on one of the areas above.

We do have specific requirements that we can already identify as necessary within the next 12 months:

Security penetration test and health checks to be conducted in early to mid-January 2016 and June 2016. This is a mandatory requirement for our PSN accreditation process.

Re-accreditation to the PSN is in the spring of 2016.

(A sampling approach is acceptable when considering the penetration testing of its laptop population as all models are the same make and model and have a similar configuration).
