Kāinga Ora is seeking proposals from Managed Security Service Providers to provide a comprehensive Security Operations Centre (SOC) solution, inclusive of Security Incident Event Monitoring (SIEM) via Microsoft Sentinel. The goal is to effectively identify, manage/triage and mitigate security incidents and events through a 24/7/365 operational capacity.

This opportunity represents a chance to provide a Government Agency with access to critical shared threat intelligence and suitably qualified cyber professionals, expanding security incident monitoring capacity to a 24/7/365 model and significantly reducing the risk and cost of establishing an internal capability.

Our aim is to find a Provider that covers the following aspects:
• Comprehensive security management
• Proactive threat monitoring/triage/alerting/escalation
• Regular trend reports
• Security compliant (the systems security must be assessed (C&A) and deemed compliant with Kāinga Ora’s Cyber and digital security policies)
• Proven 24/7 operation
• Sentinel setup support / Sentinel cost optimisation
• On-boarding of new data sources as appropriate
• Custom parsing as required
• On-going fine-tuning of alarms, correlation rules, reporting
• Playbook development expertise
• Portal-accessible log visibility
• User view authorisation
• Value-add (recommendations/enhancements based on real experiences that would be relevant to Kāinga Ora etc.).

Background
The objective of this initiative is to ensure round-the-clock, accurate and efficient identification and management (triage) of relevant security incidents and events. It's an opportunity for providers to leverage their expertise and awareness of the current global cyber threat landscape, as well as their access to critical threat intelligence data to broaden Kāinga Ora’s security incident and event monitoring and management capabilities.

This tender has been awarded. Total spend value $ 1,133,580.
