Description

City of Bradford Metropolitan District Council (the Council) is seeking an experienced Managed Security Service Provider (MSSP). The Councils reputation depends on providing reliable services to the people and business it serves within the district. It is paramount that the data collected via the supporting IT services is kept secure, whether stored on premise or in the cloud. It is also important that the Council meets the security standards required by third party service providers, including: The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS), the Public Services Network Code of Connection, and the NHS Health & Social Care Network Code of Connect and the Data Security and Protection Toolkit. Therefore, to help further increase its current security posture, the Council is looking to enlist the services of an experienced Managed Security Service Provider (MSSP) specialist.
