CDDO has agreed a framework to identify ‘red-rated’ systems, indicating high levels of risk surrounding certain assets within the IT estate. Departments have committed to have remediation plans in place for these systems by June next year (2025).</p><p>It is not appropriate to release sensitive information held about specific red-rated systems or more detailed plans for remediation within Cabinet Office’s IT estate, as this information could indicate which systems are at risk, and may highlight potential security vulnerabilities.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Brentwood and Ongar answering member printed Alex Burghart question first answered 13/05/2024 14:44:19 answering member 4613 label Biography information for Alex Burghart

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/11/2023 answer text <p>As of 21 November 2023 the Cabinet Office has 4 red-rated legacy IT systems as defined in the Central Digital and Data Office (CDDO) Legacy IT Risk Assessment Framework.</p><p>The Cabinet Office is actively managing their legacy systems. Since May 2023 the newly formed CTO Function within Cabinet Office Digital have been proactively addressing legacy management and risk mitigation across the Department. This work is refining the definition of Legacy Technology building on the CDDO framework and creating an assessment for all systems within the Cabinet Office. This is still in progress and we will be delivering a governance and decision framework, founded on the CDDO assessment framework, to create plans for remediation which are based upon assessed risk. This work is due to complete this calendar year and will provide a revised and enhanced legacy risk assessment position for the department.</p> answering member constituency Brentwood and Ongar answering member printed Alex Burghart question first answered 29/11/2023 17:59:41 answering member 4613 label Biography information for Alex Burghart
