Northwestern Michigan College
Organization overview and procurement intelligence available on paid plans.
A government authority in Traverse, Michigan is seeking a qualified vendor to conduct an Information Technology (IT) security audit of the college’s enterprise IT environment. The audit should adhere to industry best practices and incorporate innovative strategies for identifying risks and recommending remediations related to IT security.
Key areas include the secure configuration of enterprise assets and software, account management, and access control management. The college's IT systems utilize a centralized data center where all file servers, storage area networks, and core switches are located. The network is supported by single-mode fiber and a microwave connection, interlinking four connected locations.
The service requires a comprehensive and best-practice based security audit, including an external penetration test. Testing is expected to occur during normal business hours, with some services required outside regular operating times as needed.
