The security policy framework includes provisions relating to data protection, cybersecurity, and measures to safeguard critical infrastructure.

To deliver efficient public services, proper protection of citizen data is essential.

Protecting against malicious behaviour and ensuring that critical technology and services are resilient to disruptive challenges such as cyber-attacks, eaves dropping, espionage and IP protection.
