DIGITAL-ECCC-2024-DEPLOY-CYBER-07-SOC - National SOCs

To support the above activities of a National SOC, the following two workstreams of activities are foreseen:

• [Procurement] A Joint Procurement Action with the Member State where the national SOC is located: this will cover the procurement of the main equipment, tools and services needed to build up the National SOC
• [Building up and running the National SOC] A grant will also be available to cover, among others, the preparatory activities for setting up the National SOC, its interaction and cooperation with other stakeholders, as well as the running/operating costs involved, enabling the effective operation of the National SOC, e.g., using the equipment, tools and services purchased through the joint procurement. These will also indicate milestones and deliverables to monitor progress.

Applications shall be made to both workstreams. Applications will be object of evaluations procedures. Grants will only be awarded to applicants that have succeeded the evaluation of the joint procurement action.
