Risk Management - Top Risks

Report of the Chamberlain.

Minutes:

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

 

In response to a query about the City’s recovery and continuity plans, the IT Director informed Members that data storage for the City was provided by two Microsoft Data Centres and business continuity plans were updated on a regular basis to ensure the City was meeting new emerging potential challenges. In addition the City was looking at running   a “white hack” exercise soon to stress test defences and other simulation exercises would be taking place in 2022. The IT Director will keep Members updated.

 

In response to a concern raised about the IT Budget, the Chamberlain assured Members that, broadly, as per the Month 6 data, the overall budget was balancing; whilst there were departments that were struggling to deliver on savings, the bilateral Member-Chief Officer meetings were providing a forum for rigorous discussion, and gaps were being addressed.

 

RESOLVED – that the Committee noted the Report.
