Brief

Iarnród Éireann (Irish Rail) needs a data security platform service for 5 years, with a maximum total contract value of €3.6 million, to support structured and unstructured data across its Dublin-based operations. The solution should provide data discovery, identification and automated classification; real-time visibility of data security posture; automated exposure remediation; data loss prevention; threat detection and risk management; support for secure AI deployments; compliance, retention and archiving; and integration with industry-standard tools. The buyer already uses Microsoft Purview, which must not be proposed as the primary solution or priced for licensing or implementation; suppliers should demonstrate compatibility with the existing Purview environment and provide the additional required capabilities. The contract may also be made available to other CIÉ Group entities, with no guaranteed volume, value or exclusivity.
