Dear Jessie,
Compliance review of statistics from the Cyber Security Breaches Survey
We have completed a compliance review of the Cyber Security Breaches Survey statistics produced in partnership by the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT) and the Home Office against the standards of the Code of Practice for Statistics. These statistics are currently produced as official statistics.
Our review sets out our view on how the statistics from the Cyber Security Breaches Survey meet the standards of the Code. The review identifies a range of areas where the statistics demonstrate trustworthiness, quality and value, and makes three recommendations for improving the quality and value of the statistics.
I am grateful for the constructive engagement from your team throughout the review and hope our findings inform the ongoing development of these statistics.
I am copying this letter to John Wilkins, Chief Statistician at the Home Office; and Saman Rizvi, Statistician, Cyber Security & Digital Identity team at DSIT.
Yours sincerely,
Siobhan Tuohy‑Smith
Assessment Programme Lead
