Tender Description

This Tender is invited by the Issuer.

⁠⁠⁠Overview

The Australian Public Service Commission (APSC) is seeking an experienced vendor to establish an Authority to Operate (ATO) for its Case Management System, a SaaS solution. This requires the completion of security governance, risk assessment, control implementation, and assurance activities necessary to enable the APSC's Chief Security Officer to make an informed risk-based decision around the operation of the system.

Scope

The scope includes:

  • Delivering a complete ATO artefact suite
  • Providing specialist advice to support accreditation decision-making
  • Assessing and assuring that controls are implemented and operating as intended, using the IRAP assessment already undertaken by the system vendor, which will be shared with the successful candidate
  • Preparation of a Security Risk Management Plan (SRMP), Cyber Incident Response Plan, and System Security Plan as required under PSPF requirements
  • An assessment of control effectiveness mapped to applicable ISM controls within the system boundary
  • Identification of residual risks and recommended treatments
  • Any additional documentation or artefacts required to support the ATO

Contractor Requirements

  • The assessment must be conducted by an ACSC-certified IRAP assessor
  • The assessment must be sufficient to support security authorisation at the PROTECTED level
