house id	2
legislature	25277 pref label House of Lords
question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the impact on cross-border security of the loss of real-time access to the Schengen Information System; and how many requests for information from that System have been made by the UK since 31 December 2020.
tabling member printed	The Marquess of Lothian
uin	HL11887
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/01/2021 answer text <p>In the absence of UK participation in the 2<sup>nd</sup> generation Schengen Information System (SIS II), although there will be a mutual loss of capability, the Government is clear that cooperation with EU partners through pre-existing bilateral channels is unaffected, and that Interpol provides a tried and tested mechanism for exchanging law enforcement alert information. Interpol was the primary means by which the UK exchanged warnings alerts with EU Member States as recently as 2015. It remains the primary means by which EU Member States share information with partners who do not have access to SIS II. Our assessment is that the UK was a safe country before joining SIS II in 2015 and we will continue to be one of the safest countries in the world.</p><p>The UK disconnected from the SIS II system at 2300 on the 31<sup>st</sup> December. There have, therefore, been no searches against SIS II by the UK since the 31<sup>st</sup> December.</p> answering member printed Baroness Williams of Trafford question first answered 21/01/2021 12:19:42 answering member 4311 label Biography information for Baroness Williams of Trafford

uin	HL11906
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/01/2021 answer text <p>Like all major government departments, the Home Office assesses threat from a range of different threat actors. The department uses this information to inform its risk assessments and action plans, both operational and tactical. Risk assessments are updated periodically and whenever a change in the perceived threat is noted.</p><p>The Home Office utilises a tiered system of risk assessment covering tactical (system level), operational (business level) and strategic (departmental level) cyber security risks. The Executive Committee has direct visibility of the Department’s strategic cyber security risk and mitigation plans.</p><p>The Home Office deploys a range of controls designed to provide defence in depth for our systems, which are modelled against the advice provided by the National Cyber Security Centre and the Government’s Minimum Cyber Security Standard. The status of these controls is under continual review by the Office of the Chief Information Security Officer, which routinely works with delivery teams to ensure that controls are practical, applicable and effective.</p><p>Robust cyber security capability requires continued funding and the availability of suitably qualified and experienced personnel. The Office of the Chief Information Security Officer is resourced for the requirements identified for FY 2021-22, balancing the need for investment against cost effectiveness for the tax payer.</p> answering member printed Baroness Williams of Trafford question first answered 18/01/2021 16:05:06 answering member 4311 label Biography information for Baroness Williams of Trafford
