Following the recent public announcement by the United States regarding the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) cyber security incident affecting its systems and data that may have compromised the personal information of current and former

Federal employees. Established publicly known contingency plans have now been implemented to protect government employees.

The increasing hybrid threats originating from outside the domestic borders are now becoming commonplace from non-state and state actors alike. An essential element of such hybrid attacks is the involvement of domestic organisations and personnel that otherwise would not have been perceived as objects of foreign aggression.

1. Does your organisation have in place a prearranged contract to provide credit monitoring and identity theft protection services to your staff, in the event of any incident or anticipated threats?

2. Does your provision cover partners and close family members of your staff?

3. In response to any identified infiltration of staff personnel or payroll systems.

What is your organisation desired implementation period for providing all of your staff with fraud protection cover?

4. Under any arrangement to provide credit monitoring and identity theft protection services to your staff, are local government or national government funds used? Please, can you provide a breakdown (if possible) only in percentage terms of the proportion costs between local and government funding?
