DWP agrees to cyber security renewal deal with Auriga

The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has agreed to a renewed IT security contract with cyber security company Auriga. Under the contract, Auriga will continue to provide security assurance services (SAS) in line with the DWP’s IT security strategy.

Auriga says that it will offer an updated implementation method that will embed cyber risk accreditation and management services within standard working practices.

The firm added that it hoped the change will allow DWP to invest security spend and other resources only where necessary, and will enable the department to steer clear from the rigid approach typically taken with accreditation.

Louise Dunne, chief executive of Auriga, said that for an SME, it is an achievement to secure a contact with a large government department and even more so for it to be renewed. For the full article click here
