Veterans: Identity Cards
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, whether independent security audits will be conducted on the digital veterans ID system.
Answered by Al Carns
All data associated with the new virtual HM Armed Forces Veteran Card will be stored within the UK. The digitisation project is currently in the Discovery Phase. However, when it moves into development, it will operate under Government Security and Ministry of Defence Secure by Design frameworks as part of the whole life management of the service. This will include independent IT health checks and penetration testing throughout the duration of use.
