answer text <p>Security audits of digital infrastructure, such as penetration tests and other technical compliance checks, are the responsibility of each individual government department. Audits are conducted on a continuous basis within departments and across Government as a whole. Multiple audits occur every day of the year and so there is no fixed or identifiable date in the past or the future which can be reported.</p> more like this

answer text <p>The Cyber Essentials scheme sets out the basic technical controls which all organisations relying on the internet should have in place to prevent common online attacks. The scheme enables organisations themselves to determine which technologies are in scope of their Cyber Essentials assessment: this would not normally include any third party organisations.</p><p> </p><p>The Government recognises the importance of third party risk management and will continue to consider how the Cyber Essentials standard can be improved to better account for cloud based services. In addition, the Government is working with industry to ensure businesses encourage the firms in their supply chains to adopt Cyber Essentials where necessary and appropriate.</p> more like this

answer text <p>The Government keeps the material relating to cyber security standards for which it is responsible - such as the Cyber Essentials scheme - under regular review and updates it as and when required.</p><p> </p><p>For example, following industry and customer feedback, the requirements for the Cyber Essentials scheme were recently updated and can be found at:</p><p>https://www.ncsc.gov.uk/information/requirements-it-infrastructure-cyber-essentials-scheme</p><p> </p><p>The vast majority of technical standards are owned and driven by industry, for example the ISO 27001 range of standards on cyber security. These standards are usually global in nature, and governments are part of the debate amongst many industry voices when it comes to reviewing and/or amending a given standard.</p> more like this

answer text <p>The Arctic Emblem (AE) was commissioned in 2006 to recognise the service of Armed Forces veterans who served in the Arctic Region between 3 September 1939 and 8 May 1945. The Arctic Star was instituted in 2012 following the first part of Sir John Holmes’ independent review into the rules and principles governing the award of military campaign medals. The Arctic Star adopted the AE’s criteria.</p><p> </p><p>The two awards have a different evidential basis for eligibility which reflects their differing status. Although an official award instituted by the Ministry of Defence (MOD), the AE was never intended to have the status of an official medal; greater latitude in assessing applications was deemed acceptable and a greater reliance placed on the accuracy of veterans’ or their next of kin’s accounts or recollections. Once the Arctic Star had been formally instituted as an official British Military Medal, applications were necessarily assessed by the MOD Medal Office with the same degree of rigour as is, and always has been, applied to the other World War II Stars and Medals.</p><p><strong><br> </strong></p>
