Cyber Deployment Partner PMO and Security Demand & Supply Management - as a Service

Description

Why the Work is Being Done In February 2018, NHS Digital and NHS England were asked to provide improved and enhanced cyber security services to health and care. To ensure funding is utilised in the most effective way to address security threats, vulnerabilities and risks most prevalent across the sector, a systemic risk analysis has been undertaken to inform the strategy and approach. The outcome of the risk analysis reconfirmed the working assumption within NHS Digital, NHS England and other Arm’s Length Bodies that cyber risks are systemic across the sector- systemic vulnerabilities exist across a range of security domains and consistently across different organisation types. Problem to Be Solved The Data Security Centre needs to build out a Augmented PMO: to manage the overall Cyber Portfolio. This will build on the current Data Security Office within the DSC. It will provide delivery and project management oversight; enhanced communication and engagement activities across the programme as well as with stakeholders across Health and Social Care. Security Demand and Supply Management (SDSM): this component of the CDP will provide, govern, and manage the commercial and procurement approaches to the delivery of the Cyber programme. This will cover the procurement lifecycle from requirements generation through to market engagement and the procurement itself.
