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 OGCIO and the NCSC to ensure that we follow best practice as it relates to all aspects of Cybersecurity. For operational and security reasons, I cannot disclose details of systems, processes or indeed costs as to present information in this manner in relation to my Department could potentially compromise those efforts or could inadvertently assist criminals to identify potential vulnerabilities in departmental Cybersecurity arrangements.

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
