Dear Alex Harris
Request for information
We refer to your Official Information Act 1982 (
OIA) email request received on 9 January
2019 requesting the following information:
* whether your agency has ever employed ZX Security Ltd, to provide training in social
media or open source intelligence. For the avoidance of doubt, I am not interested in any
work done by them on network security or penetration testing.
* If so, all information relating to, or provided by, ZX Security Ltd in relation to the above.
We have searched our records and have identified that we have not engaged ZX Security
Ltd to provide training in social media or training in open source intelligence.
Accordingly, we refuse your request pursuant to s. 18(e) of the OIA, because the information
requested does not exist.
You have the right to contact the Ombudsman about this response. To do so, you can visit
their website -

Yours sincerely
Casey Hurren
