About Cyber Security and Digital Solutions:
Cyber Security and Digital Solutions (CSDS)* is a team within government, and we are putting people first.

We are called a "digital" service for a reason - because we are helping government work the way that people expect things to work these days.

It is important that CSDS reflects the people that we serve - so we can deliver better, and more accessible, and inclusive public services.

We work hard to create an environment where different perspectives and experiences are valued. We are committed to helping diverse talent thrive.
