Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, how many mandatory cyber security training sessions civil servants working in his Department are required to undertake.

All HM Treasury staff are mandated to undertake a “Responsible for Information” online training course relating to information security, which includes content on cyber security.

In addition, an element of cyber security awareness is included in staff induction training and guidance on security culture, including cyber security and managing digital footprints, is available to staff through the department’s intranet.
