Further details have emerged about the Home Office’s new £450m cloud contract with AWS, which came into force this month. 

In response to written questions submitted by Liberal Democrat Lord Timothy Clement-Jones, a Home Office minister confirmed that some AWS staff may require vetting for specific work undertaken under the agreement and that policing services are hosted by AWS. These answers shed new light on the £450m agreement, which was criticised for appearing to exempt staff at the hyperscale cloud provider from undergoing any form of security checks.
