The Scotland Office uses an information technology system (SCOTS) operated by the Scottish Government. The Scottish Government is responsible for all hardware/software procurement, administration, support, maintenance and security of the system. Under its IT policy the downloading of ‘apps’ is prohibited, all functions that would allow the user to do so are blocked and therefore no ‘apps’ can be added to work-provided phones or tablets.
