In relation to Devon County Council, this information is exempt under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 Section 31(1) prevention of crime. We have carried out a public interest test and although there is a wider public interest in being open and accountable, in this case we believe that given the range and sensitivity of personal data about clients and employees we hold and process it is not in the public interest to disclose details about our network security. Given the responses to the previous questions we do not hold any information about school network security.
