Louise Haigh – 2015 Parliamentary Question to the HM Treasury

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Louise Haigh on 2015-12-14.

To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, what proportion of employees in his Department have (a) taken the CESG Certified Cyber-Security Training Course and (b) received other cyber-security training.

Harriett Baldwin

One current HM Treasury employee has attended courses which are part of the CESG Certified Training (CCT) scheme, while three have attended other external training courses devoted entirely to Cyber Security. All HM Treasury’s employees periodically undertake online information assurance training which contains some cyber security related content, and are also provided with cyber security related guidance/advice on the Department’s intranet. All new employees have to attend induction training which contains some basic pointers on Cyber Security.
