Current Tenders / Opportunities
RFI - Provision of “Safe Internet” Service(s) across K-12 Education membership - closed 18 December 2020
CEnet’s current Web Content Filtering Service provides a safe Internet experience to its members’ staff and students, by protecting users from internet-based threats such as malware, spyware, botnets and trojans, as well as preventing them from accessing inappropriate material.
There is a need for CEnet to continue to deliver a safe-internet access solution to the membership for 2021 and beyond. It has also been recognised that market offerings in this space have evolved significantly.
The delivery of a safe-internet experience for CEnet member dioceses requires an approach that takes into account an end-to-end perspective; people, technology and processes. This includes consideration of the individual users, devices and connections in use, the locations (school/office/home), the content being consumed, digital citizenship, and just as importantly, the end-user experience.
