I can inform the Deputy that all Department of Justice official mobile devices and applications which run on them comply with guidance provided by the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC). This guidance is based on risk assessments appropriate to the circumstances and is kept under continuous review by the NCSC.

My Department requires all users of official devices to exercise appropriate discretion in their use in compliance with Department policies in relation to appropriate use of technology, and the Civil Service Code of Standards and Behaviour.
