Notice Title

Static Application Security Testing (SAST) Tool

Notice Description

A SAST tool conducts automated scanning of source code to look for security vulnerabilities, and in some cases a failure to follow coding best-practices. This allows for a defence-in-depth model, so that the PPF can gain assurance around development work undertaken internally. This contract has an initial term of two years, with two 12-month extension options. The overall contract value (including the two extension options) is PS232,305 ($310,500).
