C-918-02 (Cybersecurity Risk Reduction)

Newton County Schools (K‑12) is issuing a Request for Information to collect details on available cybersecurity risk‑reduction solutions, including hardware, software, and consulting services. The RFI is intended to help the district understand market capabilities before any formal procurement. Vendors will be asked to describe their products, services, implementation approaches, and pricing models. No contract award is guaranteed at this stage; the information will inform future procurement planning. • Target audience: cybersecurity vendors, managed security service providers, and consultants. • Scope: security enhancement equipment (e.g., firewalls, endpoint protection), cyber risk assessment, incident response consulting, and ongoing monitoring. • Budget: not disclosed; typical K‑12 district projects range from $50K to $250K. • Timeline: responses due by Sep 18 2026; evaluation period follows. • Outcome: potential future RFP or sole‑source award based on gathered information.
