Issue - meetings

The Joint ICT Assistant Director presented the report to the Committee which sought recommendation for the Information and Cyber Security Policy October 2024 (the ‘Policy’) to the Executive for approval.

The Joint Information and Cyber Security Policy aimed to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of ICT systems and data for the Council, Dragonfly Developments Ltd. and Dragonfly Management (Bolsover) Ltd.

The Policy was essential for maintaining the successful operation of these entities and protecting the information held, processed, maintained, and shared with other public sector organisations.  It was designed to maintain public confidence and ensure compliance with relevant statutory legislation.

The Policy applied to all employees, contractors, partners, agents, and other stakeholders who had access to ICT facilities and data.  It covered all assets owned by the parties, information held or owned, ICT infrastructure used, and the physical environment in which the information and / or supporting ICT was used.

The objective of the Policy was to ensure the highest standards of information security were always maintained across the parties.

UNISON had approved the Policy.

Moved by Councillor Amanda Davis and seconded by Councillor Jeanne Raspin

RESOLVED that the Committee recommends the Joint Information and Cyber Security Policy October 2024 to the Executive for approval.
