Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, pursuant to the Answer of 2 November 2017 to Question 109984, in public sector: cybercrime, if he will meet representatives of Deloitte to discuss the need for more timely reporting to Government.

Cabinet Office Ministers frequently meet with representatives from the private sector to discuss a range of issues including cyber security. There are no plans to meet with Deloitte specifically to discuss their reporting to government.

It is at the discretion of the company to choose how they report to Government on significant cyber security incidents. The advice from the National Cyber Security Centre is that timely notification is beneficial.
