For this FOI we are not releasing any information on providers of our software.

Any information that could be used by hackers, scammers, and other malicious actors to compromise the Council’s ICT systems and cyber security should not be disclosed to external organisations, partners or members of the public.

Use of external cyber/online security contractors, firms; and 
Details of ICT and cyber security systems, procedures, policies and contracts particular to the Council
