	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/05/2024 answer text <p>There are three information security courses which are mandatory for civil servants in Defence (Protecting Personal Data, Information &amp; Knowledge Awareness and Records Management Awareness). These courses replaced the Defence Information Management Passport (DIMP) which had a three-year expiry timeframe and retired fully in early 2023. Staff who are still covered by the DIMP do not need to complete the three new security courses until their DIMP expires.</p><p>Data shows that approximately 43% of the Defence Business Services workforce have completed all of the necessary security information courses, or are still covered by the DIMP. A Civilian Mandatory Learning Review is underway to tackle a range of issues, including compliance, to ensure a higher proportion of the workforce complete their mandatory learning in future.</p> answering member constituency South West Wiltshire answering member printed Dr Andrew Murrison question first answered 24/05/2024 08:12:33 answering member 1466 label Biography information for Dr Andrew Murrison
