The Navajo Nation Department of Information Technology (NNDIT) seeks a qualified vendor to implement and support the Varonis SaaS Data Security Platform. This initiative will enhance the Nation’s cybersecurity posture through automated data discovery, classification, permissions management, and real-time threat detection. This implementation will strengthen the Navajo Nation’s data sovereignty and cybersecurity framework by protecting sensitive, cultural, and operational data assets. All data collected, stored, or analyzed under this contract shall remain within environments approved by NNDIT and in compliance with Navajo Nation data sovereignty policies. The Navajo Nation anticipates deployment of approximately 3,000 cloud-based SaaS security licenses in support of a fully Microsoft 365 environment. The proposed solution must provide a SaaS-only configuration with no dependency on on-premises infrastructure. If connectors are needed for optional sources, the solution must support lightweight deployment without requiring local hardware. The proposed solution must include the following minimum capabilities: • Enterprise-grade Microsoft 365 protection across SharePoint Online, OneDrive, Teams, Entra ID, Exchange Online, and Copilot.
