CyberAlarm in schools

John Coren made this Freedom of Information request to National Police Chiefs' Council Automatic anti-spam measures are in place for this older request. Please let us know if a further response is expected or if you are having trouble responding.

The request was successful.

Dear National Police Chiefs' Council,

As part of reviewing school support, I am looking to determine the feasibility of using CyberAlarm, instead of just registering like most do.

Completing supplier chain risk assessments to support school Data Protection Officers is sometimes a thankless task, but I am hoping you can help with some information.

Please provide a public copy of any data processing agreement or data sharing agreement that exists between any parties involved, i.e. the school, NPCC, the provider, any related contractors.

Please provide copies of relevant risk assessments completed by NPCC, as set out in guidance by the ICO on DPIAs and other risk assessments.

Please provide details of organisations selected by NPCC or the provider to complete any risk assessments, along with copies of these reports.

I fully understand the requirement to protect some of the above information, and will happily accept any redactions that are made.

Please be aware that without sufficient information schools CANNOT complete their own risk assessments and so CANNOT make use of the CyberAlarm systems.

Yours faithfully,

John Coren

NPCC FOI Request Mailbox,

Good afternoon

I wish to advise you that the following exemption is engaged in relation to your request:

Section 31 Law Enforcement

By virtue of Section 31(a)(b) where public authorities have to consider the balance of the public interest in relation to a request, they do not have to comply with the request until such times as is reasonable in the circumstances.

This is a qualified exemption and there is a requirement to conduct a public interest test. I am obliged to consult with all stakeholders who may be affected by me complying with your request.

Upon completion of this process I am then required to ascertain where the balance in compliance with both my duty to confirm or deny what information exists and/or in disclosure of any relevant information.

This process is ongoing, and when considering these matters I am entitled to extend the deadline for complying with your request.

Unfortunately, this does mean that the NPCC has not been able to respond to your request in full within 20 working days of the original receipt.

The new estimated date for compliance will be 18/07/2023, however it may be before this. If you have any queries about this email, please contact me.

With very kind regards.

Fiona
