The Lord Bishop of St Albans asked His Majesty’s Government how many Government cybersecurity roles are (1) vacant, and (2) filled by contractors.
Baroness Anderson of Stoke-on-Trent (Lab, Cabinet Office): The Government Security Group gathers data from cyber security teams across government through a planned workforce commission every two years. The 2023 Workforce Commission reported 251 vacancies and 295 contractors across government.
The 2025 Government Security Workforce Commission, being undertaken currently, will provide updated data on vacancy and contractor numbers.
