Turning to Amendment 13, also tabled by the noble Viscount, the registration online system has been in place for births, stillbirths and deaths since 2009. The system is protected to Home Office security standards and employs a range of anti-cyberattack best practices through the deployment of advanced, fully managed firewalls and intrusion detection systems. The data is replicated to a secure cloud platform every 30 minutes and robust measures are in place to protect it. Articles 25 and 32 of the UK general data protection regulation impose duties on controllers of personal data to implement appropriate technical and organisational measures, including security measures. Therefore, legislation is already in place to ensure the security of the electronic registers. The robust security measures the Home Office has in place ensure that we are complying with these statutory obligations.
