Description
The NorthWest Senior & Disability Services (NWSDS) is seeking a qualified IT consulting firm to perform a comprehensive assessment of its current IT infrastructure and provide a detailed modernization roadmap. The selected vendor will evaluate network performance, cybersecurity posture, compliance alignment, scalability, operational maturity, and cost efficiency. The resulting recommendations must support the agency's mission, ensure compliance with HIPAA, HITECH, NIST SP 800-53, and Oregon data protection mandates, and guide long-term digital transformation and interoperability initiatives while reducing costs and technical debt.
Key aspects of the project include:
• Performance and Scalability: Assessment of existing infrastructure to determine capacity, resiliency, and modernization requirements.
• Modernization: Identification of hardware refresh opportunities, cloud adoption pathways, virtualization improvements, and elimination of technical debt.
• Network Analysis: Comprehensive review and testing of WAN, LAN, VPN, Wi-Fi, and inter-site connectivity for performance gaps, redundancy, bandwidth optimization, and resiliency.
• Security and Threat Resistance: Assess security posture including firewall configurations, threat detection systems, patch management, endpoint protection, identity security, monitoring systems, and data encryption.
