MyCISO signs deal with US-based IT solutions provider

MyCISO, an Australian cybersecurity software provider, and Carahsoft Technology Corp, a US-based government-focused IT solutions provider, have announced a partnership to deliver a SecurityOS platform designed to help CISOs and security leaders manage cyber risk, compliance and resilience at scale.

Under the agreement, Carahsoft will serve as MyCISO’s Master Government Aggregator, making the platform available to the public sector through Carahsoft’s reseller partners and NASA Solutions for Enterprise-Wide Procurement (SEWP) V, The Interlocal Purchasing System (TIPS) and National Association of State Procurement Officials (NASPO) ValuePoint contracts.

MyCISO’s SecurityOS aims to enable Government organisations to move beyond fragmented tools and spreadsheets by providing a single platform for managing security frameworks, compliance, risk, incident response planning, supplier risk, metrics tracking and security awareness. 

The company claims agencies can leverage MyCISO’s SecurityOS platform to centralise cybersecurity governance across frameworks, programs and reporting; operationalise incident preparedness; strengthen supply-chain and third-party oversight across government ecosystems; and reduce manual effort and administrative overhead, replacing spreadsheets with automation.

“Government agencies are under increasing pressure to demonstrate accountability, resilience and measurable cybersecurity outcomes,” said Steve Jacyna, director of innovative cybersecurity solutions at Carahsoft.

“Through this partnership, Carahsoft and our reseller partners look forward to working with MyCISO to help agencies operationalize cybersecurity governance and clearly communicate risk and progress to executive leadership.”

“Across government, we consistently see strong security intent undermined by fragmented tooling and point-in-time compliance,” said Dane Meah, CEO of MyCISO.

“MyCISO was built to solve that exact problem, giving agencies a real-time view of their security programs. Carahsoft’s reach, trust and understanding of Government procurement makes them the ideal partner to bring SecurityOS into U.S. Public Sector agencies.”
