For those who haven't been following JLR in detail, key chain of events:

1) JLR outsource key IT and infosec functions to TCS, approved by 1x director and 2x NEDs on both JLR and TCS boards

2) JLR transfer staff by TUPE to TCS

3) TCS lay off transferred UK staff, including cyber risk and governance and cyber monitoring

4) record profits for a decade

5) got hacked

6) company stops functioning

7) get government to bail out their key suppliers (in progress)
