Requirements
What could rule a small business out: This contract is not suitable for most small businesses. It requires specialist IT security expertise, 24/7 operational capability, multiple security certifications (ISO 27001, Cyber Essentials Plus), proven SOC delivery experience, and significant infrastructure investment. Solo traders and very small teams will almost certainly be unable to meet these requirements.
