RFP for Vulnerability Assessment and Management System

The University of Chicago is issuing an RFP to acquire a comprehensive vulnerability assessment and management system. The solution must be capable of scanning and identifying security weaknesses across a wide array of environments—including data centers, managed and unmanaged desktops, compliance‑managed settings, and departmentally managed networks—providing actionable remediation guidance and ongoing management capabilities. • Scope includes network, system, and application vulnerability scanning across heterogeneous environments. • Must support both centralized and decentralized deployment models for varied campus units. • Requires reporting, compliance tracking, and integration with existing security tools. • Vendor must supply implementation, training, and support services. • Evaluation will focus on technical capability, security posture improvement, and cost‑effectiveness.
