What is being bought

Published requirement description

ONR has a number of key security certifications which it holds in order to assure our stakeholders that our security policies, processes, networks and systems are secured to industry standards.

The purpose of this project is to procure audit services for ISO27001 to maintain our ISO 27001:2022 certification status due to contract expiration with our existing supplier. Successful and continued ISO 27001 certification validates our security arrangements as an organisation, and is a fundamental contributor to ONR's security reputation and ambition to be an exemplar of good security practice.
