Team Defence Information

ICEF/Information Security Forum
2026-10-22 11:00 - 15:30 UTC | TD-Info, 6A Pinkers Court, Briarlands Office Park, Bristol, BS35 3QH, United Kingdom
This meeting will cover the agendas for both the ICEF and the Information Security Forum.
The ICEF fulfils two roles: it represents the interests of industry consumers of MOD information and, secondly, acts as an advisory change management board for those users of MOD products and services operating outside the MOD estate. Organisationally, the ICEF is managed under the TD-Info Delivery Continuity Executive and reports to TD-Info MD.
The ICEF brings together individuals from Industry partners who have day-to-day responsibility for using – or managing the provision of – MOD-delivered services. This function is managed collaboratively with representatives from the MOD Defence Digital Customer Management team responsible for ‘Indirect’ (i.e. non-MOD) customers. Defence Digital (DD) recognises that Industry represents a significant proportion – roughly one third – of total users of DD-delivered IS/IT. Taking a risk management approach, the ICEF identifies opportunities to improve awareness of, and mitigation for, availability issues that might impact adversely on Defence outcomes.
The TD-Info ICEF lead:

manages a 6-weekly (approx..) rhythm of meetings for ICEF members
liaises, as Industry representative on the MOD 1* Customer Board
conducts a regular drumbeat with DD ACOS Plans and Customer Services team
prioritises risks/issues affecting suppliers’ ability to deliver against agreed contracts
identifies mitigation activities for MOD consideration.
Maintains the ICEF risk register
publishes services-to-industry product descriptions and supporting management processes

In support of the DCE, the ICEF lead manages the change process for MOD-originated information services. Specific activities include:

improving awareness of planned changes to MOD-supplied information flows, applications, products and services for the Industry customer
identify potential impact on industry and work with MOD ICEF members to identify options for mitigating the consequences of the proposed (or executed) change
co-ordinate industry inputs and manage the resolution of unplanned/unforeseen events that impact project delivery
escalate major issues or observations to the DD Customer Board and/or DD ACOS Plans. Conversely risks or issues may also be escalated to the DSF via the DCE

The purpose of the Information Security Forum (ISF) is to provide better ways of working securely across Team Defence by identifying key issues and agreeing on common approaches to resolution by sharing good practice, collaborating on accreditation standards, providing a practical (and compliant) interpretation of Government policy, and sharing event and near-miss data.
The ISF collaboratively develops guidance, influences policy and communicates key messages to members and, where appropriate, broader stakeholders on Information Security and Assurance matters.
This meeting will be held In-person at TD-Info Offices and virtually using Microsoft Teams. Group members will be sent the link to join the meeting.
These are both closed groups, however if you wish to participate or would like further information please contact Andy Corbett
