We support a free and open internet. Our net neutrality rules work well to help ensure users, not internet companies, are in control.</p><p>As such, we are clear that users of internet services should be able to access the services they wish to, without unnecessary blocking or slowing down by providers. The UK is currently subject to net neutrality rules brought in through the EU Open Internet Access Regulation. In order to ensure the immediate continuity of legislation after we exit the EU, over the coming months the Government will be converting EU law into UK law through the European Union (Withdrawal) Bill.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/12/2017 answer text <p>This was not a breach of any Government data, but a configuration error in the Pervade Software platform used by an external third party, which led to system logs from companies, including assessors of and applicants to the Cyber Essentials scheme, being exposed. There is no evidence to suggest data was extracted. Cyber Essentials is an excellent scheme and an important part of our national response to cyber threats.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The National Cyber Security Centre has ensured the relevant third parties have taken appropriate action in response. The scheme’s Accreditation Bodies are required to take appropriate security measures through contractual obligations relating to the storage of data, including using the latest version of anti-virus software. Following the incident, an independent security audit was conducted on the Pervade software, which resulted in the implementation of a number of minor recommendations. The software is regularly penetration tested.</p> answering member constituency West Suffolk answering member printed Matt Hancock question first answered 19/12/2017 09:51:52 answering member 4070 label Biography information for Matt Hancock
