The services are to be provided in two phases. Phase I is the assessment of the GRC and security roles that will provide a report of significant findings ranked in order of criticality. Phase II will be the remediation of approved significant findings.
The RFP entitled "GRC and Security Role Redesign Audit and Remediation" was advertised on January 18, 2012, and proposals were received on February 10, 2012.
