Cyber Griffin Update pdf icon PDF 152 KB

Report of the Commissioner.

 ...  view the full agenda text for item 7.

Minutes:

Members received a report of the Commissioner regarding Cyber Griffin.

 

It was clarified that the mission of Cyber Griffin was to engage with 100% of victims and that this work was undertaken by the wider team.

 

It was hoped that Cyber Griffin would be a product of the Cyber Resilience Centre Model, which will form one place for all services for large corporations and small SMEs.

 

Funding had been secured for this year but not beyond 2024 – it was suggested that Cyber Griffin may be self-funded in future.

 

A question was raised on whether there were any challenges with the Home Office, given that Policing is separate to Security. It was suggested that nationally, the direction of travel seemed to bring those two areas together.

 

RESOLVED, that the report be noted.

Q4 National Lead Force Performance Update pdf icon PDF 852 KB

Report of the Commissioner.

 ...  view the full agenda text for item 8.

Minutes:

Members received a report of the Commissioner regarding the Q4 National Lead Force Performance.

 

The Commissioner introduced the new Commander, Nik Adams.

 

There was a discussion on the abandonment rate of calls and the need to improve the wait time of 12 minutes. This prolonged call-holding time was caused by low levels of contact centre staff. One reason cited for the lack of staff was the delay COLP were experiencing in the vetting process of new recruits. The City of London Police explained the need to prioritise the vetting process for data handlers to address this risk.

 

The Commissioner outlined the difficulties faced in domain blocking .com addresses compared to .co.uk. addresses. Processes were not at stringent although suppliers such as Go Daddy would take down sites if the evidence presented to them was compelling.

 

A Member sought a copy of the Police IP Crime report to the ICAN Board (5/2022/P).

 

RESOLVED, that the report be noted.
