Thank you for your request received by Transport for London (TfL) on 12 May2021 asking for information about our Cyber Security team (CSIRT - Cyber Security Incident Response Team). Your request has been considered in accordance with the requirements of the Freedom of Information Act and our information access policy. I can confirm that we hold the information you require.

However, in accordance with the FOI Act, we are not obliged to supply the information you have requested in part 1 of your request as it is subject to a statutory exemption to the right of access to information, under Section 22 of the Act. In this instance the exemption has been applied as the information on job titles and salaries of our senior staff for 2021 is intended for future publication and our website will be updated with the data in the next few weeks and will be published at the following location: https://tfl.gov.uk/corporate/publications-and-reports/senior-staff. This exemption is subject to a public interest test, which requires us to assess whether the public interest in applying the exemption outweighs the public interest in disclosure. In this instance, it is considered that the public interest favours the publication of this information, in context and according to the pre-determined schedule, rather than in response to your request, to ensure the information is provided accurately and in an accessible manner. The information to answer point 2 of your request is there are currently 22 NPL contractors employed in CSIRT.
If you are considering submitting a further FOI request please think carefully about whether the request is essential at this current time, as answering FOI requests will require the use of limited resources and the attention of staff who could be supporting other essential activity. Where requests are made, please note that our response time may be impacted by the current situation.
If this is not the information you are looking for, or if you are unable to access it for any reason, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Please see the attached information sheet for details of your right to appeal as well as information on copyright and what to do if you would like to re-use any of the information we have disclosed.
