The FCDO takes the protection of information extremely seriously. The FCDO has robust controls in place to manage risk to its assets including data and mobile devices.
The departmental security unit records and considers whether an investigation is appropriate for each reported loss from the Department. Any security pass reported as lost is immediately deactivated.
