In relation to cyber security, what would be the benefit of a public sector organisation joining a Group Purchasing Organisation (GPO)?
Correct Answer: C

The GPO/Consortium does the legwork for procurement activities such as vetting suppliers. This is one advantage of using them—they have the expertise to weed out unsuitable suppliers. Option A is a true statement but doesn’t relate to cyber security. P.167
