Security-Minded approach to Open and Shared Data

Data is at the heart of digital transformation and a part of the Government Transformation Strategy. It's important to recognise that better data can inform policy-making and continuous improvement of services.

The Government’s position on open data includes:

making it easier to access public data.
making it easier for publishers to release data in standardised, open formats.
Following a 'presumption to publish' process unless there are clear, reasons (such as privacy or national security) not to do so.

Open data is:

accessible (remotely) at no more than the cost of reproduction. This is without limitations based on user identity or intent.
in a digital, machine readable format for interoperation with other data.
free of restriction on use or redistribution in its licensing conditions.

CPNI have produced a framework for adopting a security-minded approach to the sharing of data. This includes open data. The framework's purpose does not undermine the principles of open data or reduce the benefits of data sharing.
