Summary: The Bureau of Technology is requesting authorization for the Chief Procurement Officer to renew and increase this contract. This Managed Security Service Provider (MSSP) contract will continue to provide the 24x7 monitoring, analysis and alerting of cyber threats to Cook County information technology and device management for currently deployed security technology. 

 

This MSSP contract will provide Cook County a comprehensive set of Monitoring and Professional Security Services to enhance the cybersecurity posture on all critical information technology both on site and cloud based. 

 

In order to achieve the objective to manage and monitor on a continuous basis the Information Security Office (ISO) security technology, the contract was awarded with an initial four (4) year term and two (2) two-year renewal options.  The vendor has met or exceeded all performance requirements during the initial term of the contract and exceeded all expectations.

 

Ascent Innovations LLC is the current MBE/WBE partner on the existing contract and has provided excellent service during their tenure.  Retaining this vendor as the partner will make a seamless renewal and save on the cost of transition.

 

Deloitte’s corporate citizenship activities have been recognized by the United Way of Metro Chicago as a Top 25 Corporate Partner and a recipient of their Diversity and Inclusion Award in 2017. Deloitte is also very committed to the local minority-owned, women-owned, and veteran-owned business community.

Over the last eight years, Deloitte has provided over $94M in revenue to Illinois-based minority-owned, women-owned, and veteran-owned businesses from Public Sector work in Illinois alone. In teaming with Ascent Innovations LLC, Deloitte will exceed MBE/WBE goals.

 

This contract was awarded through Request for Proposals (RFP) procedures in accordance with Cook County Procurement Code as well as all Federal acquisition requirements; the contract will potentially be funded with Urban Area Security Initiative (UASI) Homeland Security Grant Program (HSGP) funding.

Deloitte was selected based on established evaluation criteria.
