Written answers

My Department takes the security of its Information Technology systems very seriously. Our technical staff continue to operate and monitor all relevant systems to the highest levels and are closely engaged with experts in the Office of the Government's Chief Information Officer and the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) to ensure that best practice is followed as it relates to all aspects of Cybersecurity. For operational and security reasons, I cannot disclose details of systems and processes which could in any way compromise those efforts or which might inadvertently assist criminals to identify potential vulnerabilities in my Department's Cybersecurity arrangements. However, I can confirm that my Department does have a policy of data backup aligned to the best practice guidance from NCSC.

I have forwarded your question to the agencies under the aegis of my Department for direct response to you. If you do not receive a reply within 10 working days please contact my private office.

A referred reply was forwarded to the Deputy under Standing Order 51
