Development of Two Cyber Security BETA Modules for Health Innovation North East and North Cumbria (HI NENC)

Description

The purpose of this PIN is to inform market operators of an opportunity to develop a scenario based modular cyber security exercise. HI NENC wishes to engage a third-party organisation with proven experience in developing gaming software to create two BETA modules. We are seeking a BETA product with scope to develop future modules. Primarily the users are defined as senior leaders within social care organisations. The current prevalence of cyber-attacks and especially ransomware attacks is significantly increasing business risk across the health and care sector. Due to a range of structural, financial and operational challenges the digital maturity and resilience of social care organisations is variable. The reduction of cyber risk is correlated with reducing pressures on the rest of the health and care system. This is due to the requirement, in some instances of relocating service users in event of a cyber-attack. In addition, it reduces the risk of care services closing due to commercial loss and or reputational damage. The gamification provides an accessible learning experience in a complex and stressful space. This will be achieved through engaging across the spectrum of learning types (visual, read/write, auditory and kinaesthetic learning with particular emphasis on the later).
