The Department implements a security-by-design and defence-in-depth approach to cyber security and has attained the industry security standard ISO27001 certification since 2019.

For operational and security reasons, the Department has been advised by the National Cyber Security Centre not to disclose details of the Department's cyber security arrangements. It is not considered appropriate to disclose particular arrangements in place in relation to IT security tools and services.
