Notice Information

Notice Title

Sophos Re-procurement

Notice Description

Sophos is recognised as the market leader in this domain, providing advanced tools that enable centralised monitoring of multiple site locations. Our reliance on their comprehensive solutions ensures efficient and timely responses to cybersecurity incidents. The current competitive landscape lacks. Furthermore, engaging a new reseller and trying to configure the current arrangement with a new provider would leave the organisation open to risk of system failure at a critical transition point and would remove the assurance of continued working functionality of a key system in the business as well as additional unknown factors that could introduce significant delays to the day to day running of the solution.
