Cyber Operations Management System (COMS) Demonstration
Duties
- The contractor shall build a mock-up environment that simulates what is doable today on COMS NR and COMS NS, including the relation between Atlassian JIRA, Atlassian Confluence, including all plugins currently installed on the production environment.
- It will notably replicate all Jira processes supporting the execution of the DEFEND branch missions, as well as all other supporting Jira processes (including but not limited to "STAGIL assets" projects).
- It will also replicate the mechanism allowing low-side workflows tracking from the high-side with the associated hand-over/take-over mechanism, the dynamic wiki page publications based on the Jira issues changes and the use of dynamic page template (scaffolding/reporting-based).
- All data-type used for any of these processes have corresponding mock-up data implemented that will allow to run at least 10 different instances of each process without using twice the same data.
- Any Confluence space and pages which are being used in support of these processes must also exist on the mock-up environment, including the dynamic elements, labelling, and all plugins as on production.
- The simulation of the Data diode and the replication mechanism must be implemented.
- Based on the mock-up of the environment set during D1, the contractor shall identify and capture the functional and non-functional requirements of what COMS is able to deliver today into a NATO AQAP conforming format which is readable and unambiguously understandable by a third-party company having no prior knowledge of NCSC, NCIA or NATO.
- The requirements shall be organized in logical groups to later on facilitate the production of a video in D3.
- The requirements will be captured within the COMS Confluence environment until final review is agreed.

- The contractor shall ensure availability and full working condition of the environment at the time of the demo.
- NCIA is responsible to invite industry and set the date of the demo.
- The Contractor shall determine and provide the appropriate number and composition of personnel – possessing the necessary qualifications, skills, and experience – successfully fulfil all requirements of this effort, taking into consideration the very tight delay in delivering the totality of the solution.
