Security support

To join the cloud platform service you must be able to manage your own cyber security. This means you must have a team in place that can do this or a third party supplier. 

We can offer some support with your security. This includes helping with things like incident management and firewall and DDoS protection.

The Scottish Government’s Cyber Security Unit can also give you access to some cyber security shared services.

Some of these include:

• security advice, guidance and assurance 

• monitoring and alerting on systems, networks and endpoints 

• vulnerability scanning and management support 

• cloud native security 

• incident response planning
