Welcome to our new manual

This space will be evolving over the coming months to bring together the services and activities required to enable the department to make informed security risk decisions, promote good security behaviours through education and safeguard the department's data and services.

We do this by:

  • ensuring leadership understands the significant cyber risks, and coordinating efforts to reduce these risks
  • supporting our services to make better security decisions and run more secure services
  • enabling DfE to detect, respond to and manage cyber security incidents. Reducing impact through early detection and containment
