Agenda item

To receive a report of the Commissioner of Police.

The Committee received a report of the Force Strategic Risk Register which had been received at the last meeting of Performance and Resource Management Sub-Committee.

The Assistant Commissioner updated Members that some amendments had been made to the register as some had become historic. It was noted that the SR 15: Delivery of Information Assurance Maturity Model (IAMM) was a requirement by the Home Office and expected all police forces to achieve a certain level of IT security. The Deputy Chairman noted that the Force’s protection of its data was an area of strategic importance to the Force.

With regards to SR 14: IT Business Continuity, a report would be presented to the next meeting of the Committee on the Force’s IT strategy. The Force assured Members that the Force’s recent IT issues had been limited to the Outlook email system and had given the Force an opportunity to assess its business continuity programme.
