Freedom of information requests concerning IT Security, infrastructure, and cyber attacks

We are frequently asked for information about our IT infrastructure, systems, and security issues, including what systems we have in place, the suppliers, and versions.

We are asked how often we update and amend our security, if we have identified any vulnerabilities and what we have done to strengthen any weaknesses.

The Authority has considered these issues carefully and we have decided we do not release information that would fall under this category of data. This is because we consider it is exempt under section 31 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000.

You have the right to a review of the Authority decision; however, the Authority last reviewed its position in June 2024. The Authority will review this position annually.
