Report of the Chamberlain.

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

The Chamberlain and the Chairman of the Information Technology Sub-Committee both pointed to the success the IT team had made in transforming the Corporation’s IT over the previous year, noting that CR19 (IT Service Provision) had been reduced to green status at the IT Sub Committee meeting on 10^th July. The risk reduction for CR16 (Information Security), from red to amber, was still under consideration after discussions at IT Sub.   

The Chairman requested that a discussion on CR23 (Police Funding) should take place under ITEM 6.

Additionally, in noting that Senior officers had proposed that CR25 (GDPR) be closed and any outstanding mitigations and actions be absorbed into the IT Security risk, some Members expressed some concern about the risk being closed due to the continued high profile of GDPR’s introduction, and Mazars’ audit report which was anticipated in September.  It was felt that, subject to receipt of the necessary assurances later in the year, the risk could then be closed.

RESOLVED – That the Committee noted the report.
