Description of Work:

The objective is to provide IT security technical specialists to support the IT audit team in conducting IT security related audits on an as-and-when requested basis.

IASB’s consistent requirement for qualified, credentialed IT security professionals has shaped the demand for an “as and when requested” contract that satisfies the need for a selected list of resources, to be readily available to access for various IT security related audit engagements.

The actual requirement for all resources will be identified through an approved Task Authorization. The estimated levels of effort for each resource category may vary throughout the duration of the contract.

During the course of the contract, Task Authorizations will be issued by the Contracting Authority, which will detail the IT security audit engagement objective, number of resources required, and specific tasks and deliverables required of each individual.

Security Requirement: Common PS SRCL #19 applies
