Huawei is set to face fresh pressure on its long-term role in the UK as an upcoming government report will find it has failed to address security concerns raised last year.

The next annual report from the Huawei Cyber Security Evaluation Centre will find that issues raised from its previous findings into the Chinese telecoms giant have not been fully addressed and will criticise Huawei over the security of its technology, sources familiar with a draft review told The Telegraph.

Huawei is gearing up to play a significant part in the rollout of 5G networks in the UK later this year as a key partner to mobile network operators.

The July 2018 Oversight Board report into Huawei, led by GCHQ’s National Cyber Security Centre, warned that the Government had “only limited assurance” that the company’s hardware does not pose a threat to national security due to “shortcomings” exposing risks in the UK’s telecoms networks.

It also pointed to Huawei’s processes continuing to fall short of “industry good practice”, making it difficult to provide “long-term assurance”.

Sources said the draft report by the Oversight Board will again criticise Huawei over its security, despite a pledge made by the business in December to spend $2bn addressing issues in its equipment.
