Agenda item

Report of the Chamberlain.

Members received a report of the Chamberlain which provided updates regarding the top risks within the Departmental Risk Register.

The Deputy Chairman noted that IT Service Provision was considered a red risk – it was natural caution that delayed the reduction to amber, with the final decommission of aged and vulnerable equipment due at the end of 2017, it was anticipated that the risk would be reduced to amber in early 2018 and green later in the year.

A Member queried the level of security outlook offered with regards to the Committee agenda packs. Other organisations in both the public and private sectors used the Egress data transfer service; this was considered a more secure platform than Outlook and should be examined by officers in both the Town Clerk’s and Chamberlain’s departments. 

RESOLVED – that Members noted the report.
