Crossword Cybersecurity Plc Further Positioned to Supply to the
UK Public Sector via the G-Cloud 12 Framework and Digital
Marketplace for Public Sector Organisations
22 October 2020 - London, UK - Crossword Cybersecurity Plc
(AIM:CCS, "Crossword", the "Company" or the "Group"), the
technology commercialisation company focused solely on cyber
security and risk, is pleased to announced that it has been
accepted onto the UK Government G-Cloud framework version 12. This
enables public sector organisations to procure Rizikon Assurance
and Consulting via the Digital Marketplace run by Crown Commercial
Services.
Crossword has been accepted for the 'cloud software' and 'cloud
support' categories giving marketplace users access to the
Crossword Rizikon Assurance cloud-based supplier assurance and
third-party risk management platform, which is already used by a
number of public sector organisations including Stevenage,
Peterborough and East Hertfordshire Councils to ensure GDPR
compliance.
The Digital Marketplace and G-Cloud Framework make it easier for
public sector organisations, including agencies and arm's length
bodies to find cloud technology and specialist services for their
digital projects. Using the Digital Marketplace makes it faster and
cheaper than entering into individual procurement contracts, so
government organisations can move more quickly to realise their
digital transformation projects. Being on the framework will allow
public sector bodies the opportunity to quickly sign up to using
Rizikon, allowing them to rapidly improve their supplier assurance
programmes.
Rizikon Assurance contains standard questionnaires on subjects
such as cyber security, GDPR, supplier on-boarding, modern slavery,
anti-bribery & corruption, but customers also can create their
own question sets and scoring approaches, enabling a 360-degree
view of supply chain risk in a single pane of glass. This helps
organisations identify, prioritise and mitigate third party risks
that may exist in any area, whilst streamlining and managing the
onboarding and supplier management processes.
Crossword's leading consulting services will also be available,
with its team of industry experts offering a full range of services
including Cyber Assurance and Auditing, Crest accredited
Penetration testing, Third Party Assurance and its Virtual Chief
Information Security Officer (vCISO) service.
Sean Arrowsmith, Group Sales Director, of Crossword, commented;
"We are very pleased to be accepted on to the G-Cloud 12 Framework.
Our Rizikon Assurance cloud-based service is already used by a
number of public sector organisations and the Digital Marketplace
will make it even easier for others that want to mitigate third
party risks in areas such as cyber security, GDPR and diversity, to
get up and running, confident that Crossword can provide the
solutions and support to meet their needs."
