	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/02/2024 answer text <p>The Government Cyber Security Standard requires government organisations to meet or exceed the security outcomes specified in the Cyber Assessment Framework (CAF) developed by the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC). This includes specific security outcomes in relation to the secure configuration and management of devices.</p><p>As the CAF is outcomes-based, it does not specify which commercially available devices meet these security requirements or which vendors government organisations should buy their devices from. That is a matter for government organisations to determine locally, in consultation with their commercial, security and IT teams, based on their organisation’s business needs, risk tolerance and threat profile.</p><p>In addition, in November 2023 we published the cross-government Mobile Device Management policy to help government organisations and their Arms Length Bodies keep their corporately owned mobile devices secure and prevent data breaches. NCSC also provides guidance on how to securely configure devices from each of the most commonly used platforms.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Brentwood and Ongar answering member printed Alex Burghart grouped question UIN 12425 question first answered 08/02/2024 16:29:21 answering member 4613 label Biography information for Alex Burghart
