Logica has been awarded a framework contract by the GNSS Supervisory Authority (GSA) for the provision of security for the Galileo program. The announcement is the latest in a stream of space security contracts awarded to Logica. With over 40 million euros in security contracts for Galileo alone, and further work being delivered on GMES, EGNOS, and Skynet-5, Logica fields one of the world’s largest teams of experts in space security. The framework contract will run for up to four years and will enable the GSA to procure specialist support for the analysis and definition of security aspects related to Galileo with a shortened procurement cycle. The contract was awarded after a strict competitive tender and positions Logica as the preferred supplier for Galileo security. The contract will initially see Logica deliver support in defining guidelines and rules for the management of Galileo services in the countries eligible to participate in Galileo. Logica will also be responsible for the definition of technical requirements for security related activities, and for defining an Information Security Management System within the GSA, to be compliant with ISO/IEC 27001. Logica's framework scope includes definition of a Galileo security policy including identification of applicable international standards; support drafting security agreements with non European countries; threats and vulnerabilities analysis and risk assessment of system assets and services; legal expertise and analysis of the security rules at national and EU levels; and analysis and definition of guidelines for setting up and EU GNSS export control policy.
