About

Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) is seeking a supplier for a modern, CREST-accredited Security Operations Centre (SOC) to protect and monitor its next-generation, SaaS-based estate. The SOC will be implemented on the new estate only (legacy systems are out of scope) and must be capable of onboarding and monitoring multiple SaaS services, a data integration platform, connections to third-party services that may provide log feeds, and potential IaaS/PaaS cloud services. The supplier must design, build and maintain a SOC aligned with the NCSC guide covering operating model, onboarding, detection, threat intelligence, and security incident response and management, and the service must operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. DBS holds highly sensitive information and personal data and requires full audit and visibility of data creation, manipulation and access to meet legal and regulatory needs.
