GSA is bumping up cybersecurity offerings
GSA recently announced a restructure of the Highly Adaptive Cybersecurity Services (HACS) Special Item Number (SIN) to include a greater range of cyber services. The new format addresses the government’s need to protect high-value assets and enables federal agencies to purchase proactive and reactive cybersecurity services. (Fifth Domain, April 2, 2019)
According to GSA Acting Assistant Commissioner Bill Zielinski, “The restructured HACS solution on IT Schedule 70 will provide federal agencies with easier access to services and solutions to protect large complex network and data systems, including [high-value assets] that hold sensitive information critical to national and economic security.” (ibid)
GSA is consolidating the four original SINs under HACS into a single SIN with the following five subcategories:
- High-Value Asset Assessments
- Risk and Vulnerability Assessment
- Cyber Hunt
- Incident Response
- Penetration Testing (ibid)
