GCSx CoCo IT Health Check
Faced with increasing security requirements and tighter budgets, Local Authorities (LAs) face increasingly complex challenges. Compliance with the current version of the GCSx Code of Connections Standard (CoCo) istougher than ever, and as LAs increasingly look to the Internet as a source of payment for services, the further costs of PCI compliance put serious strain on even the most well funded authority. GCSx compliance requires an annual IT Health Check. Complying with GCSx requirements in this area is fairly straightforward, but many LAs are under significant pressure to cut costs and are at risk of choosing a service that won’t meet their needs. Mandalorian have a growing reputation within the Local Government space as providers of high end security services. Our scoping approach is based on three core areas: activity optimisation, post-test support and value for money. The focus on providing high value instead of lowest cost brings capabilities previously only seen in well funded LAs to those that need it the most.
At Mandalorian we focus on removing duplication to reduce costs. That’s why we combine PCI section 11.3 testing with our GCSx CoCo IT Health Checks to keep costs low. Through our partners Westpoint, we offer quarterly or monthly ASV and regular vulnerability scans including false positive checks at competitive prices.

- ◈ External and Internal network penetration testing
