The Department for Exiting the European Union does not have a bespoke IT system or dedicated mobile phone provision.

The Department’s IT and mobile phone service is hosted by the Cabinet Office. Given national security concerns they feel it would be inappropriate to publicly supply a list of applications approved for use on mobile phones issued by the Cabinet Office. I can confirm that the Cabinet Office acts in full compliance with National Cyber Security guidance on the use of third party Apps.
