Description

The Council's PSN Certification is due for renewal on the 7th March 2024. As part of the process of renewing this the Council must submit its most recent IT Healthcheck (ITHC). The ITHC will provide assurance that the Council's external systems are protected from unauthorised access or change, and they do not provide an unauthorised entry point into systems that consume PSN services.

Furthermore, the internal systems will be tested to provide further assurance that no significant weaknesses exist on network infrastructure or individual systems that could allow one internal device to intentionally or unintentionally impact on the security of another.

The Council is only seeking proposals from NCSC approved CHECK companies to deliver this year's ITHC.
