Dark web intelligence company Searchlight Cyber has been named as an appointed supplier on Crown Commercial Service’s (CCS) Cyber Security Services 3 Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) framework.
Under the terms of the agreement, Searchlight Cyber will supply its dark web intelligence products to UK public sector organisations that are looking to manage dark web risks and improve their overall cybersecurity posture.
Developed in collaboration with the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC), the DPS framework is the only compliant way for the UK public sector to access NCSC-assured service providers. Using the DPS framework, organisations can easily find the right cyber security service tailored to meet specific requirements, with the ability to filter options by service and assurance type.
Searchlight Cyber has two core dark web intelligence products that will now be available for UK public sector organisations to procure through Cyber Security Services 3 DPS. Cerberus is a dark web investigation platform built in collaboration with government agencies, which enables organisations. to safely search more than 15 years of dark web data to identify threats that could impact them. DarkIQ is a dark web monitoring platform, which continuously searches the deep and dark web for details related to an organisation and alerts to any malicious activity that could indicate an imminent threat.
“I am proud to announce that Searchlight Cyber has become an appointed CCS supplier, which will allow us to extend our work with the UK public sector,” said Ben Jones, CEO of Searchlight Cyber.
“We have worked closely with the UK Government and law enforcement agencies since day one, it is part of our DNA, and this latest accreditation is another landmark in our collaboration with the UK public sector. We are acutely aware of the challenges public sector organisations face from cybersecurity threats, in an ever more hostile environment. This accreditation gives public sector organisations access to products they know they can trust, which they can use in their fight back against dark web threats.”
