Report FSD23062

The report provided Members of the Executive, Resources and Contracts Policy, Development and Scrutiny Committee with the net ‘High’ (Red) risks extracted from the Corporate Services, Finance and Human Resources and Customer Services Risk Registers.

In relation to the Fire Safety Risk detailed in Appendix D of the report, the Committee noted that risks had been identified and that was key.  Mitigations had been put in place and whilst there were ongoing challenges around the office move, the risks would be further mitigated once the move had been completed.

In relation to the IT security risk, Members noted that the key vulnerability was human error.  The Committee noted that staff received regular mandatory training and measures had been put in place to keep the Council systems secure.  It was suggested that Members should also receive the training provided to staff.  A Member highlighted that IT security needed to be balanced with workability and requested that this be reviewed in respect of emails,

A Member further suggested that the Director of Corporate Services and Governance should be asked to review the Information Request Non-Compliance Risk as this had a higher rating than both the Fire Safety Risk and the IT Security Risk which seemed inconsistent.

RESOLVED: That the report be noted.
