Minutes:
The Cabinet Member Corporate Services introduced the report and explained that since the creation of ICT Shared Services with the Forest of Dean District Council (FoDDC) a joint Information Security Policy had been developed for all the partners in the ICT Shared Service. This was a requirement as part of the Council’s connection to the Public Services Network (PSN).
The Cabinet Member reported that this policy had now been agreed by the Joint Security Working Group and adopted by the FoDDC Cabinet. He added that the policy would provide guidance to all ICT users and help keep our ICT systems and data secure. The policy applied to all staff and Members and it was their responsibility to read and understand their obligations under it. The Cabinet Member then highlighted the four key principles in paragraph 1.5 of the report described by HM government as outlined.
RESOLVED THAT
The Information Security Policy be adopted for the use by all CBC IT users.
