What?
This is not the first time that a site linked to gov.uk has been found lacking. If their statement that ' .. conforms to industry standards' is defensible then those standards need an immediate review. I do not need to remind the group that there is a young man awaiting his fate for playing on the US Govt sites - and that was just for fun! It would not be so bad had the agency not had FREE access to some of the best security advice in the world and could simply have had the site tested for them by a third party.
