Technical requirements: The Republic Geodetic Authority (RGA) in Serbia is one of the largest providers of public digital services in Serbia. Cyber security is the key for confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the data and information. To improve RGAs capability to detect and respond towards cyber events and incident, RGA is expanding their current security setup.
The overall objective of this tender is to expand and improve the cyber security monitoring and detection capabilities for RGA (GeoSerbia).
The contract consists of both licence procurement (expansion) and professional service, both provided from one supplier.
The Republic Geodetic Authority (RGA) has one of the largest digital infrastructures and is the largest provider of digital services serving the community of Serbia.
RGA has an existing cyber security solution in place to monitor and detect cyber events and incidents. The system needs to be expanded to increase the technical coverage and the organisational capability to detect and respond to cyber incidents.
The Norwegian Mapping Authority is assisting RGA in the procurement and implementation of this expansion.
The existing solution is using Aspen SIEM, a product of AST, as their core log collection and correlation platform.
RGA has an internal team of cyber security analysts, who is responsible for managing the solution and running the internal security operations centre (SOC).
RGA needs to expand the number of licences and consultancy services in order to support coverage of SIEM and the possibilities for the internal SOC.
The scope of this tender is therefore to expand and improve the cyber security capabilities of RGA, not only by implementing more technology but also increase the operational efficiency of the internal security team.
The agreement will cover the need to purchase more licenses and consulting services that will contribute to strengthening the information security capacity of RGA, as well as building capacity in the areas of common interest identified in the institutional cooperation.
The contracting authority has an option to expand the contract on unchanged terms for one or more cost elements. This will be based on the available budget.
