The government is inviting views on a proposed Cyber Governance Code of Practice until 19th March. This is part of a package of action in the £2.6 billion National Cyber Strategy to drive up improvements in organisational cyber resilience. Co-designed with the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) and industry experts, the Code consolidates critical cyber governance areas for directors' ownership. As part of this package, the NCSC revised their Board Toolkit (BTK) and intends to develop an online Cyber Governance Training Pack for Boards, integrating the Code and BTK. This comprehensive package will help boards ensure that cyber resilience is embedded throughout their organisation, including its people and processes.
