ECS, through its wholly owned subsidiary Iron Vine Security, will provide the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services with comprehensive cybersecurity support under a $120 million award.
The CMS Cybersecurity Integration Center Operations contract will extend ECS’ support for the agency and the CMS Healthcare Marketplace through 2029, the company said Tuesday.
ECS, an incumbent CMS contractor, will continue performing enterprise security operations support, incident response and management, security engineering and architecture, threat intelligence analytics, data forensics, penetration testing, breach and attack simulation as well as other managed cybersecurity service.
“We’re honored to support CMS as it serves the millions of Americans who receive healthcare through Medicare, Medicaid, the Children’s Health Insurance Program and the Health Insurance Marketplace,” said John Heneghan, president of ECS and a 2024 Wash100 Award recipient.
Iron Vine Security, which was acquired by ECS in 2022, has been providing CMS with managed cybersecurity services since 2016.
