Keeping data secure : Overview
The Integrated Data Service (IDS) is designed to release the power of data, by aiding government reforms through improved policy decisions. Ensuring the data within the IDS are safe and secure is our highest priority.
To protect users, systems and data, IDS follows government security standards and best practice. These standards meet the National Cyber Security Centre’s (NCSC) principles for securing cloud technology.

IDS analysts follow strict data policies around:
- cleaning
- linkage
- validation
- control
Our governance of data is legal, ethical, and controlled. Our processes are consistently managed and access to de-identified data is only granted through accredited projects.
