- Kind
- service (third party)
GOV.UK Internal Access authenticates people signing into public-sector services. Its terms identify the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology as the service’s manager.
I supported investment in this infrastructure while in government. With Redbox, bringing departments on board had involved separate authentication arrangements. Shared access helped remove that friction for later work, including Parlex.
It is a reminder that some of the most valuable engineering happens underneath the product people see.
