Cyber Incident Response Services

Item Description:

Assisting 80 million people in around 80 countries each year, the World Food Programme (WFP) is the leading humanitarian organization fighting hunger worldwide, delivering food assistance in emergencies and working with communities to improve nutrition and build resilience.

Like every connected person and business in the world, WFP is concerned with cyber adversaries and their capabilities to penetrate the institutional computing resources and data.  While the cyber security program at WFP is both proactive and continuously evolving, it is recognized that it is a matter of “when, not if” a cyber intrusion will occur.

Therefore, WFP is soliciting expressions of interest from qualified suppliers who perform incident response services. WFP wishes to have agreements already in place to perform such services prior to a major incident given the time sensitive activities such as for containment, investigation, and recovery.

WFP has offices in over 85 countries, most in remote areas. It is expected most contracted services would need to be provided in locations where WFP maintains data centers. For this reason, the supplier’s ability to tackle and analyze cyber incidents on many WFP premises would be an advantage.
