answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/06/2020 answer text <p>In 2020, 43% of micro businesses, 62% of small businesses and 75% of large businesses had identified cyber security breaches or attacks in the last 12 months. Figures for the last 4 years are taken from the Cyber Security Breaches Survey.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><table><tbody><tr><td><p> </p></td><td><p>Micro (1-9 staff)</p></td><td><p>Small (10-49 staff)</p></td><td><p>Large (250+ staff)</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2020</p></td><td><p>43%</p></td><td><p>62%</p></td><td><p>75%</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2019</p></td><td><p>28%</p></td><td><p>40%</p></td><td><p>61%</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2018</p></td><td><p>40%</p></td><td><p>47%</p></td><td><p>72%</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2017</p></td><td><p>38%</p></td><td><p>52%</p></td><td><p>68%</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p><strong> </strong></p><p>The survey aims to account for all the types of breaches or attacks that organisations might face including accidental breaches, as well intentional and recorded cyber attacks that did not get past an organisation’s defences. This only measures the breaches or attacks that organisations have themselves identified so the figures reported may underestimate the full extent of the problem.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>The total number of cyber incidents affecting central government departments is not held centrally. However, since its creation in 2016 the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) has continued to provide assistance to central government departments and agencies to secure their networks and develop their departmental security strategies. This includes the deployment of the NCSC’s Host-Based Capability tool to over 35,000 government devices in the past year, which helps to collect and analyse technical metadata to help government departments understand the threat they face, and ongoing engagement with government departments and agencies as part of the Active Cyber Defence service.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Boston and Skegness answering member printed Matt Warman question first answered 09/06/2020 17:32:02 answering member 4361 label Biography information for Matt Warman

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/06/2020 answer text <p>The Government has improved the design and accessibility of ballot papers and forms at elections and referendums. This involved public user-testing of the revised voting forms, including the ballot paper, poll cards and postal voting statements. The work took into account the findings in the Electoral Commission’s “Making your mark” report and made improvements to forms which voters use in order to make voting as accessible as possible.</p><p>In partnership with the Royal National Institute of Blind People, the Government is taking action to further improve the support provided at the polling station to voters with sight loss. This has included the testing of a tactile audio device to allow the voter to access candidate information, and, at the 12 December General Election, encouraging Returning Officers to allow the use of smartphones with specially designed apps for reading documents and video magnifiers to help them cast their vote.</p> answering member constituency Norwich North answering member printed Chloe Smith question first answered 09/06/2020 11:32:11 answering member 1609 label Biography information for Chloe Smith
