Opportunity overview

The Department of Finance is seeking to establish a Framework agreement for the provision of a Data Security Standard Qualified Security Assessor to aid departments in achieving full Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI DSS) compliance. The need for this framework is urgent and it is expected it will go live in February 2026 and will last for four years. The Qualified Security Assessor will work directly with each department to assist/teach department towards attaining full PCI DSS compliance and providing the knowledge needed to maintain compliance in the future. As such this will be a new collaborative framework allowing each Dept / public bodies to make a Call-Off Contract for the support and services required. For all Contracting Authorities that may avail of this Framework, please see the tender documentation.
