Description

The Electoral Commission's contract for its cyber security solution and managed service is due to expire at the beginning of December 2025. As a consequence, there is a requirement for the provision of a new managed cyber security service and SOC, that includes software and end point protection, 24/7 monitoring and incident response. In light of the well-publicised cyber-attack that was made on the Commission, it is essential that this new solution and service are put in place before the current service ends.
