You asked
I was wondering if you could let me know if you currently use any contractors or external consultants within the Cyber Security function?
Or if you have had contractors in this space previously?
We said
Thank you for your request.
Within the ONS security function we have utilised three contractors to support the Cyber Security Risk Advisory team, covering Financial year 2023/24 and 2024/25.
Additionally, we have utilised external security consultants (service) to support the Cyber Security Operations Centre, three financial year 2023/24 and one financial year 2024/25.
