Cyber Security Supply Chain Assurance Project

Given the growing cyber security threat to the supply chain, we are proposing a project relating to improving the cyber security supply chain assurance process in the energy sector. Phase one involved developing a Request for Information questionnaire and Request for Proposal guidance, both to support procurement. For phase two, we now plan to drive the adoption and embedding of these documents into the procurement practices of energy operators and other companies. The deliverables need niche cyber security knowledge. The successful bidder will need insights, skills and technical experience, and knowledge. The work also needs detailed knowledge of abstruse cyber security Enterprise and Operational Technology standards and the energy sector.
