Initial Comments

Key parts of the draft report, which could relate to application security, are:

Page 7 (Box: Five objectives, second item) "A dynamic investment climate for UK digital content, applications and services, that makes the UK an attractive place for both domestic and inward investment in our digital economy".

Page 13 (Equipping everyone to benefit from Digital Britain) Very few action points provided in the draft report compared to other sections. Nothing for 'online safeguards' yet.

Pages 36-38 (3 Digital Content 3.1 The Economies of Digital Content) E-commerce growth figures / commercial challenges. No mention of trust.

Pages 59 and 61 (4.2 Driving Universal Connectivity: Take-up) User demand / Ease of use. No mention of safety/security.

Page 66 (5.2 Media Literacy) "...need to ensure a population that is confident and empowered to access, use and create digital media." Also heavy emphasis on child protection, but not other users.

Page 69 (5.3: Online Safeguards) Whole section is important but currently focuses almost only on illegal and adult content.

Page 74 (Glossary)
