Forward Deployed Engineers only have access to the data needed to undertake their specific tasks, they do not have unrestricted access to Defence data. Access is strictly limited, approved and controlled by the Ministry of Defence through role-based permissions, contractual safeguards and oversight arrangements, with all data remaining sovereign to the Department, and under the Department’s control at all times.
