Details

In May 2019 the Home Secretary established an independent review to consider what lessons could be learned after MI5 identified compliance risks within certain technology environments used to store and analyse data.

Sir Martin Donnelly conducted the Compliance Improvement Review. The review examined how the issue arose and considered MI5’s governance and risk management procedures in light of this.

The government is publishing the summary section and recommendations of the Compliance Improvement Review report, with some sections replaced with a gist where necessary for national security reasons.

Mary Calam has conducted an independent verification of the review.
