Department awards contract of potentially four years to KPMG which, in the coming months, will work to support efforts to improve governance, training, and use of data to inform decisions
The Home Office has signed a £2m-plus deal intended to bring greater “maturity” to its approach to cyber risk across the organisation.
As of last week, the department entered into an initial two-year engagement with KPMG. The agreement, which can be extended for two further periods of 12 months each, covers the provision of eight discrete packages of work.
According to the text of the contract, these workstreams will be respectively dedicated to: embedding cyber risk management and governance across the Home Office; establishing a baseline of the necessary people, training offerings, and culture; developing cyber risk capacity; addressing the needs of arm’s-length bodies and agencies; automating risk management and controls; improving – and then maturing the risk-management framework; and developing a model for data and reporting.
