I am an independent regulator supported by a team of three full-time Home Office staff who make use of Home Office systems. I have no IT systems which are bespoke to or otherwise owned by me. You may consider a separate request to be made to the Home Office under the provisions of the Freedom of Information Act should you require information regarding matters relevant to the Home Office.
