Extension Of Penetration Testing Call Off Contract

Extension of Penetration Testing call off contract for 12 months.

The MCA engaged in an activity last year to improve the management of penetration/security testing. Regular testing is required to ensure that the services protected irrespective of changes implemented over time. A call-off contract let to a specialist company offers the opportunity to broaden the scope of activity to include services not tested before, to include the internal network, end-user device builds and on-site wi-fi, reducing the administrative burden of separate procurement activities for each test.

The MCA has extended the contract with Prism Infosec, originally let following a Further Competition under the Cyber Security Services 3 framework (Crown Commercial Service) following a successful previous year of annual and ad hoc testing.
