Notice Information

Notice Title

Security Architecture and Design service for Citizen Information

Notice Description

Agile delivery squads within CI require a specialist security service to support delivery timelines. The impact on the business should this contract not put in place is that we will be unable to complete the architecture design of strategic application products without security design and oversight, risking late identification of security gaps in the application products and delaying the ability to deliver and achieve value from the products.
