I wish to inform the deputy that the Department of Children, Disability and Equality (DCDE) had no spend on cloud storage solutions in the past five years, or to date in 2025.

While DCDE makes use of systems which incorporate cloud functionality, it should be noted that no specific cloud solution for the defined purpose of storage has been in use in DCDE in the past five years or to date in 2025.

This is in line with guidance from the Office of the Government Chief Information Officer and the National Cyber Security Centre on ICT policy, security, and infrastructure matters.
