<p>All initiatives awarded grant funding through the Cyber Skills Immediate Impact
Fund (CSIIF) are regularly monitored. We track performance in identifying, training,
and placing candidates into cyber security jobs, reviewed against the targets set
out in the relevant grant agreement. Updates on the performance of these projects
are published as part of the National Cyber Security Strategy progress report.</p><p>
</p><p>I have instructed my officials to commission a review that will look into allegations
from the Sunday Times in relation to Hacker House’s application for grant funding
awarded under the Cyber Skills Immediate Impact Fund. Subject to any legal restrictions
(such as data protection laws and duties to protect commercial or confidential information),
we will make available the relevant information regarding the decision making process
as soon as possible, and by 31 October 2019 at the latest.</p>
