It has been the policy of successive Governments not to comment on specific security controls.

Guidance is set for Departments on the protection of all Government assets within the Security Policy Framework. It is then up to each Department to have policies and procedures in place.

Leaks of any Government information or material are not acceptable and the Government takes such incidents very seriously.
