Being cyber secure and protecting personal data underpins everything we do in the Attorney General’s Office (AGO). In accordance with the Government Cyber Security Strategy, we are working to ensure that our critical functions will be significantly hardened to cyber-attack by
2025, with all government organisations across the whole public sector being resilient to known vulnerabilities and attack methods no later than 2030.

The Crown Prosecution Service provide digital services to the Attorney General’s Office which includes responsibility for AGO cybersecurity and protecting personal data.

The AGO does not have an external public facing internet site other than gov.uk and Cabinet Office manage digital development.
