Links and DocumentsOffice of the Adjudicator – Broadcast Transmission ServicesReport on the Audit of the Information Security Strategy, May 2011The Undertakings (http://www.competition-commission.org.uk/inquiries/ref2007/macquarie/pdf/notice_undertakings.pdf), paragraph 16.2 required Arqiva to publish an Information Security Strategy (ISS). Sub paragraphs set out requirements for staff training, security arrangements in spectrum auctions, and physical security of information/access. To ensure that these requirements are being met, The Adjudicator commissioned an independent audit of the ISS. The attached document sets out the audit programme and results in full; however the Executive Summary from the report is below. The evidence presented by Arqiva and the tests and interviews undertaken by the representative of the Adjudicator demonstrated that Arqiva are compliant with the protocols and measures stated within the published Information Security Strategy document and that no material deviation was evident. The evidence produced by Arqiva also demonstrates that the protocols and measures stated in the Undertakings have been satisfactorily implemented by Arqiva. The audit tests have established that these measures are operating satisfactorily. The representative of the Adjudicator makes two observations for consideration:
The Adjudicator considers both the audit and Arqiva’s performance to be satisfactory and intends to repeat the audit in 2013, or sooner if considered necessary.
