Question to the Wales Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales, what steps his Department is taking to (a) enhance cybersecurity and (b) protect personal data.

Being cyber secure and protecting personal data underpins everything we do in the Wales Office. In accordance with the Government Cyber Security Strategy are working to ensure that our critical functions will be significantly hardened to cyber attack by 2025, with all government organisations across the whole public sector being resilient to known vulnerabilities and attack methods no later than 2030.

The Wales Office uses IT services provided by the Ministry of Justice (MOJ), and therefore benefits from the cyber security embedded in MOJ IT systems.
