Request

Your request for information dated 14 October 2025 is copied below.

I’m writing to request a copy of the updated DPIA for SPA and PSoS’ use of Microsoft Office 365, and the Information Commissioner’s response to that updated DPIA.

A previous version of the DPIA was released under FoI on 15 July 2025, but I understand that following the receipt of new information about Microsoft’s remote access locations, a revised DPIA was created to reflect this. The SPA previously confirmed to me that this new DPIA was submitted to the ICO for its consideration on 1 September 2025.

Please could you provide me with the following information:

  1. A copy of the revised DPIA.
  2. Any supporting materials sent to the ICO for its consideration under Section 65.
  3. The ICO’s formal response to that revised DPIA.
  4. Any correspondence between the ICO and SPA discussing the new DPIA.
