Views Sought On Proposed Cyber Governance Code Of Practice.
The Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT) has invited businesses and organisations to provide feedback on a proposed Cyber Governance Code of Practice.
The Cyber Governance Code Of Practice is part of the £2.6 billion National Cyber Strategy which seeks to protect and promote the UK online.
DSIT has sought the views from stakeholders to understand if the cyber risks are presented and explained in a way that is straightforward and can be implemented.
The code focuses on the most critical areas that leaders must engage with, making it easier for directors, non-executive directors and senior leaders to understand what actions are required to manage their cyber security risk.
As digital technologies increasingly underpin business operations across the UK, the majority of organisations rely on them. With the expansion of the digital economy, cyber threats have emerged as a primary risk for many companies. In response, the government is releasing this draft Cyber Governance Code of Practice to assist businesses and organisations in effectively managing the cyber risks they encounter.
The call for views will close on 19 March 2024 at 11.59 pm.
