We believe that the release of this information would be likely to
prejudice substantially the effective conduct of public affairs.
Accordingly, this information is exempt from disclosure in terms of
Section 30 (c) for the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002.
Releasing information into the public domain regarding version details
could lead to the identification of vulnerabilities that could be
exploited. If security vulnerabilities were exploited and the Council
systems were compromised, this would be prejudicial to the conduct of the
Council. The Council is required to have regard to the public interest in
the application of this exemption, however, we believe the public
interests in maintaining the security of the Council’s systems overrides
the public interest in making details public
