In January 2022, PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) following a full tendering process, were commissioned to carry out a “critical friend” review of the Police Scotland Cyber Strategy.
They subsequently reported that the document provided a clear strategic ambition and intent for Police Scotland, assessing that overall that it is fit for purpose in setting the conditions for implementation at an estimated cost of in excess of £80m over 5 years.
This work developed our high level strategy by identifying the component parts required for an effective response to the cyber challenges and a Target Operating Model. A high level presentation (appendix attached) has been provided to help inform this up update.
This is currently under consideration by the organisation and forms part of the wider change prioritisation work, coupled with the ongoing budgetary pressures. This is in full recognition that the development and introduction of new technologies requires significant financial investment and additional resource to assist with the change and transformation process.
