Notice Title

Cyber Security Operation Centre

Notice Description

Housing 21 required a new Security Operation Centre (SOC) to improve their security posture in 2 key areas: 1. To provide 24/7 monitoring of the Housing 21 IT estate via an external dedicated cyber security company, being able to provide initial triage of security alerts, take immediate containment actions in the event of a cyber security incident and escalate to the Housing 21 security team. 2.
