Mr. Robert Watt:

As was set out at the start by the Comptroller and Auditor General, in terms of the attack on our Department, our defences managed to repel the attack. After that the IT lead in the Department did a full review and examined the systems, in conjunction with Mr. Thompson and our colleagues in the cybersecurity unit. We went through and checked to see if there were any improvements we could make to firewall the system. The cost was checks, consultancy work and a whole variety of different issues.
