Strategic Consultant SOC Services

Project overview

Three reasons why this is your assignment

This short-term assignment aims to redefine the SOC strategy of SVB.

The SVB SOC opted for a hybrid SOC in 2023, where an external partner completed part of the work. The contribution thus fully guaranteed, among other things, the 24/7 service of the SOC.

We realize that we may reach the same conclusion with an expansion of the strategy. Namely a hybrid SOC (or possibly outsourcing the service entirely to a third party).

In both cases, there will be a tender process.

This tender must start by mid-2027 at the latest to ensure a timely and orderly transition to a new party.

To start the possible tender on time, it is important to implement a strategy now.

External support and insight are desired to prevent a tunnel vision regarding this strategy.

In addition, external expertise helps to adequately substantiate and secure this strategy advice.

This request for consultancy is supported by the IT management.

You are the external consultancy firm for the existing hybrid SOC strategy, and based on this, you will provide renewed advice for the period 2029-2034.

Based on this, a possible tender can be put on the market.

This advice should preferably be completed by the end of 2026.

The involved party must be aware that in case of a tender, there may be a conflict of interest if they also wish to participate in the tender.

You are the

Demonstrable knowledge and experience in this field with the execution of strategic advice.

Preferably supplier and brand independent.

Duration of the assignment: 4 to 6 weeks

Available for at least 16 to 36 hours per week during this period

Additional Information

When you offer a professional to us as a supplier and they are placed, we need information from you as the contracting party, including regarding the Chain Liability Act (Wet keten- en inlenersaansprakelijkheid).

The 'WKA' aims to prevent abuse in the remittance of payroll taxes at all links in the chain; from supplier to client.

We design these risks for our clients by means of a blocked account, the G-rekening.

This is an account to which part of the invoice amount is deposited and from which you can pay payroll taxes and VAT to the Tax Authorities.

The deposited % depends on whether you have a SNA certification (NEN-4400-1 or NEN-4400-2) and whether your company is established in the Netherlands or abroad.

You can apply for the G-rekening from the Tax Authorities.

If you cannot obtain a G-rekening (and you can provide proof of this from the Tax Authorities), you also have the option to provide an accountant's statement (assurance report regarding personnel lending) every quarter.

In this, a certified accountant (AA or RA) will issue a statement about the correctness, completeness, and timeliness of the remittances.

Well, the costs for this statement are for your own account.
