The office adopted the National Institute of Standards and Technology cybersecurity framework and that was to minimise security risks across the organisation and protect the data that it held. That related to some of the additional expenditure to meet the requirements of the revised network and information security, NIS2, directive. Obviously, the scale and scope of the IT component of the NSSO is so significant and there were additional costs in terms of system upgrades in addition to the cybersecurity matter that I raised.
