Lot Information

Lot 1

Scottish Water is looking to procure an industry leading service delivery model associated with our security services, a blend of both traditional managed detection and response services (MDR) and managed security services (MSS). A model that improves threat detection, incident response, continuous-monitoring capabilities, and management of our security posture.

Maturing our capabilities in detection and response to 'near real-time', supported by strong threat intelligence is core to our requirements. The development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) towards actual real-time response is a future ambition to better address vulnerabilities, detect security issues and resolve before they become a problem, and repel cyber-attacks timeously and effectively once they've begun. Providing assurance and operating to our ISO27001 certified scope, whilst offering risk reduction knowledge and experience, training and awareness, delivering a positive impact to our end-users and working hand in hand with the accountable Scottish Water security management function.
