answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/11/2017 answer text <p>I refer the Hon member to my answer to PQ 108123. The email was sent by IASME - not by the Government. IASME own the content of that communication. It was reported in the media that the email contained the following information:</p><p> </p><p>&quot;We would like to make you aware that, due to a configuration error in the Pervade Software platform we use for Cyber Essentials assessments, the email address you used to apply for an assessment and your company name may have been released to a third party...&quot;</p><p> </p><p>&quot;We would like to make it clear that the security of the assessment platform has not been compromised. Your account, the answers you provided in the assessment and the report you received are secure. No information other than your email address and your company name was accessible to the third party.&quot;</p><p> </p><p>&quot;An unknown person accessed a list of email addresses in a log file generated by the Pervade assessment platform and your email address, company name and the IP address of the Certification Body was on that list. No other information was accessed. The other information on the assessment portal itself was not affected in any way and no-one has accessed the system, your account, the answers you provided or the report you received. This log file became accessible through a configuration error on the part of one of the Pervade systems engineers. Pervade have taken immediate steps to address the error and have resolved the issue.&quot;</p> answering member constituency West Suffolk answering member printed Matt Hancock question first answered 17/11/2017 10:08:37 answering member 4070 label Biography information for Matt Hancock

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/11/2017 answer text <p>Exit is an all-of-government operation. The Department for Exiting the European Union is doing detailed work with departments to prepared for the upcoming negotiations by understanding the risks and opportunities of leaving the EU and coordinating planning. Staff within the DCMS EU Team lead on providing advice to Ministers on EU Exit and exit-related issues. Members of staff across the Department also provide advice and analyses on EU Exit issues as required. Given the interactions between EU exit work and the Department's other priorities, it would not be possible to give an accurate figure.</p> answering member constituency West Suffolk answering member printed Matt Hancock question first answered 17/11/2017 13:23:44 answering member 4070 label Biography information for Matt Hancock
