Flinders University (University) is seeking proposals from suppliers for managed Security Operations Centre (SOC) services. These services should provide 24/7/365 security operations, including continuous monitoring and incident resolution within the university's digital environment.

This project will be divided into two phases to ensure a practical implementation:

Phase 1 of the SOC project, scheduled for 2024, will focus on logging and monitoring IT operations to enhance extended detection and response (XDR) capabilities. This includes monitoring network traffic, system logs, directory and identity services, and cloud functions. Onboarding for Phase 1 is intended to begin as soon as practicable in 2024.

Phase 2 will provide advanced functionality and application monitoring, incorporating insights gained from Phase 1, and will be undertaken starting in 2025.

The University is open to evaluating SOC/SIEM services based on your unique methods of operation. If your proposal does not precisely match our high-level requirements, please submit a proposal detailing how you would deliver the necessary capabilities.
