The Contracting Authority (Cru) Requires Ongoing Product Support And The Annual Renewal Of The Existing Darktrace Cybersecurity Platform Licence(S) To Ensure Continued Delivery Of The Advanced Ai-Driven Threat Detection And Autonomous Response Solution Currently Deployed Within The Cru Ict Environment. The Existing Solution Is Monitored By Cru Security Staff And An External Managed-Soc, Which Provides Day-To-Day Operational Security Monitoring And Will Continue For The Duration Of This Contract. Managed-Soc Services Are Out Of Scope For This Contract And Are Provided Under A Separate Ict Msp Services Contract. Darktrace Has Been In Operation Within The Cru Since 2023 And Is A Key Component Of The Organisation’S Security Posture, Helping To Protect Critical Information Assets. It Delivers Advanced, Ai-Driven Threat Detection And Autonomous Response Capabilities That Support Cru In Managing An Increasingly Complex And Evolving Cyber-Risk Environment. Given Cru’S Role In Handling Sensitive Regulatory Data And Supporting Mission-Critical Operations, Maintaining Access To A Robust Security Platform Remains Strategically Essential.
