PROJECT DESCRIPTION

In order to manage the numerous business systems and related infrastructure, the City of Surrey makes heavy use of privileged administration and service accounts.  The City believes these accounts represent a significant risk to the organization if not properly managed.  Historically, the City has been able to manage the provisioning and use of the accounts through manual processes; however, the City is now too large to be able to ensure the processes are consistently reliable.  As such, the City has identified Privileged Account Management as one of the top critical controls needed to improve its overall security posture.

HIGH LEVEL DESCRIPTION OF GOODS AND SERVICES REQUESTED

The City moving towards a “Consolidated Edge” topology in an effort to simplify its security architecture.  As part of this effort, the City will be replacing its current privileged password manager and manual processes with a single privileged account management solution.  The solution proposed must function within a segregated environment that has isolated security zones (both north/south and east west security zones) within a single logical instance, allowing the City to ensure all privileged accounts are appropriately managed in all securely zones from a single management platform.  The proposed solution must also support PCI DSS 3.2 compliance.

Specifically, the City is seeking a solution that provides the following:

  1. Privileged Account Management
  2. Automated Account Checkout and Privilege Escalation
  3. Robust Auditing
  4. API Based Functionality and DevOps Integration
  5. Single Pane of Glass Management
  6. Training (On-site Instructor Lead or Classroom Based)
  7. Implementation Support Services
