Delivery of Cyber Security services to the MOD Strategic Command function for the British Army

The Ministry of Defence (MoD) is the department that is responsible for the implementation of the country’s defence policy as instructed by the UK Government. As an employer of circa 150,000 military personnel, the MoD represents a large employer in the UK with a broad range of specialties. In 2022, the MoD initiated a procurement initiative to address a capability limitation that had been identified within the Strategic Command function. This exercise aimed to secure a variety of cyber security services to facilitate the development and implementation of a support function, specifically geared towards enhancing the MoD's cyber security and governance capabilities. This strategic move underscores the MoD's commitment to bolstering its defences and staying ahead in the realm of cyber security.

In collaboration with the MoD’s Strategic Command function, Goaco serves as a strategic partner, providing advisory services and delivering advanced guidance to implement services that align with the department's strategy and development goals. Our primary objective is to strengthen the MoD's capabilities and reduce risks associated with cyber threats. This collaborative approach highlights how strategic guidance and knowledge sharing can significantly enhance the department's capabilities while concurrently mitigating potential risks. By actively engaging with the MoD, Goaco seeks to contribute to the reduction of attack vectors and bolster the overall resilience of the department's cyber security framework. Goaco's commitment to supporting the MoD is evident in the commercial model that has been mutually agreed upon. This model not only reflects a shared vision for advancing cyber security capabilities but also underscores Goaco's flexibility in resource allocation and deliverables. This adaptability allows us to meet the challenges posed by the ever-changing landscape within the department, ensuring that our collaborative efforts remain responsive to emerging threats and evolving strategic priorities. Through this commitment, Goaco remains dedicated to reinforcing the MoD's cyber security capabilities and contributing to the overall resilience of its information systems and business processes.

At Goaco, our team of dedicated cyber security analysts and consultants works seamlessly with the MoD, collaborating closely with the Strategic Command function to provide valuable advice and guidance. Our objective is to significantly contribute to the implementation of the strategic initiatives outlined by Strategic Command, thereby enhancing the overall cyber security posture of the MoD. Within this framework, Goaco plays a pivotal role in supporting the MoD by actively participating in the definition of projects designed to expand cyber capabilities. By remaining vigilant and adaptive to the dynamic changes within the threat landscape, Goaco ensure that our strategies align with the evolving nature of cyber threats. Our commitment extends beyond mere consultation, as we actively engage with the MoD to address the challenges posed by the ever-changing cyber environment. As our partnership with the MoD has evolved, Goaco has become more deeply integrated into the business functions of the organisation. Our team's responsibilities have grown in tandem with the shifting priorities of the Strategic Command team, allowing us to meet and exceed expectations by delivering specific project outputs. This increased integration underscores the trust and reliance that the MoD places in Goaco's expertise, as we continue to play a crucial role in fortifying the cyber security defences of this vital governmental institution. Through ongoing collaboration and adaptability, Goaco remains at the forefront of supporting the MoD in its mission to stay ahead of emerging cyber threats.
