Deal includes ServiceNow use to improve automation.
The Home Office has signed a £2.4 million deal with KPMG to improve its cyber risk posture.
According to Public Technology, the deal will see KPMG provide a clear and coherent strategy for enhancing cyber risk culture, quickly and effectively across the Home Office. This is due to siloed working practices and key non-cyber business objectives resulting in fragmentation.
In particular, the Home Office is seeking to embed cyber risk management and governance across the operation, and establish a baseline of necessary people, training offerings, and culture. There is also a need to automate risk management and controls, improve and mature the risk-management framework and develop a model for data and reporting.
The automation workstream will focus on the Home Office’s estate of ServiceNow technology, and where the department hopes to “enhance the level of capability that the current ServiceNow instance provides for cyber risk management”.
