Jisc Services Ltd (JSL) seeks a Managed Security Service Provider (MSSP) Partner who can work with us to design, build, operate and eventually transfer to JSL, a Managed Firewall Service; this will be the principal service that will complement both Jisc’s Managed Security Service Portfolio and Connectivity Services Portfolio.
In longer-term support of JSL in the use of products and services you might supply, Jisc seeks to develop an ongoing relationship based on the principles of innovation, transparency and partnership.
The Partner is also required to work with JSL to design, build, operate and eventually transfer to JSL any associated services in support of the Managed Firewall Service.
Furthermore, to support JSL in the design and operation of other managed services opportunities that may arise to evolve JSL’s Managed Security Service Portfolio and Connectivity Services Portfolios. The potential for these additional service being to help support JSL’s overarching goal; to improve the security posture of our connected organisations.
The Partner is required to support JSL in bringing to market these services as Jisc branded services. As a Jisc branded service all end customer orders and contracts will be placed with Jisc, rather than the managed security service provider, which will provide the operational aspects of the managed service on JiSL’s behalf.
Although JSL is looking to benefit from the MSSP’s design and operational experience, it is important that the service be developed with JSL’s particular requirements in mind, and reflecting the specific needs of the education and research sector, rather than the repositioning of a more generic managed firewall service.
For further information relating to who will be eligible to purchase this new managed service from JSL and for further information relating to the scope, please refer to the tender document.
