Palantir: Software
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what assessment the National Cyber Security Centre has made of the impact on national security of awarding software contracts to Palantir.
Answered by Stephen Doughty
The UK supports the open, responsible, secure and resilient development of technologies globally and the Government takes the security of its data and digital systems very seriously. The Cabinet Office sets the framework for government procurement. All procurement is required to comply with applicable government security frameworks and is subject to robust risk assessments. The National Cyber Security Centre provides expert guidance to support secure procurement and the management of cyber risks from third party suppliers.
