The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, the total number of assessed MoD data breaches since July 2025.

Answered by Al Carns

201 personal data breaches were assessed between 1 July 2025 and 23 November 2025 by security personnel and subjected to an initial security risk assessment. Any further action would be taken on a proportionate basis. No data incidents between those dates were assessed as meeting the threshold for reporting to the Information Commissioner’s Office.
