Overview
The General Services Administration (GSA) Highly Adaptive Cybersecurity Services (HACS) is a unique way for the federal government to access cyber-focused companies that have been awarded the HACS after a rigorous technical evaluation. The (HACS) Special Item Number (SIN) 54151HACS is:
- Designed specifically to provide government agencies with quicker and more reliable access to key, pre-vetted cybersecurity support services that will expand agencies’ capacity to test their high-priority IT systems, rapidly address potential vulnerabilities, and stop adversaries before they impact the networks.
- Provided by a specialized subset of cybersecurity companies under GSA’s Multiple Awards Schedule (MAS), the largest and most widely used acquisition vehicle in the federal government.
- Fast and reliable access to a pool of approved HACS vendors able to identify and protect a customer’s information resources, detect and respond to cybersecurity events or incidents, and recover capabilities or services impaired by any incidents that emerge.
Using HACS results in a credible prime that can deliver assessment services needed for systems categorized as High Value Assets (HVA) as well as Vulnerability Assessments (RVA), Security Architecture Review (SAR), and Systems Security Engineering (SSE). Additional services include Risk Management Framework (RMF) and Security Operations Center (SOC) services focused on Penetration Testing, Incident Response, and Cyber Hunt.
