The House of Commons Home Affairs Committee has announced an inquiry into the issues surrounding the use of government-issued digital ID.

A “red teaming” exercise conducted in March by IT security consultancy Cyberis discovered that privileged access to One Login can be compromised without detection by security monitoring tools.

Computer Weekly has learned that a key technology supplier to One Login chose to allow its certification to lapse, and as a result One Login has also been removed from the accreditation scheme.

The Government Digital Service (GDS) has yet to achieve conformance with key Whitehall cyber security standards for its Gov.uk One Login digital identity system, nearly three years since security concerns were first raised.

The digital identity sector is calling on the government to amend its forthcoming data legislation, and to change policy around use of the Gov.uk Wallet – which was technology secretary Peter Kyle’s flagship announcement as part of his new digital strategy.

The Government Digital Service (GDS) was warned by the Cabinet Office and the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) that its One Login digital identity system had “serious data protection failings” and “significant shortcomings” in information security that could increase the risk of data breaches and identity theft.

Can the government's new digital broom sweep the civil service clean of its resistance to change?

There are few events more likely to induce a sense of déjà vu among weathered UK technology observers than the launch of a new government digital strategy.
