To ask His Majesty's Government whether the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology procured a corporate VPN service in any of the last three financial years; and if so, which provider was used and what was the expenditure in each of those years.

DSIT uses Zscaler, a suite of secure access services that includes VPN functionality. Zscaler is contracted for by Integrated Corporate Services (ICS) Digital on DSIT’s behalf. The cost for the VPN solution is part of a broader contract for Zscaler services. The overall contract details can be found on the Contract Finder.[1]
