Aim
Industry: Will ensure that their organisation has a clear cyber security governance
chain, which includes a board member who is able to champion cyber security at
board level discussions. They will be supported by a suitably qualified and
experienced Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) who can effectively explain
to the board the vulnerabilities that cyber poses to their organisation and the
mitigation plan that they have in place.
Industry will also conduct a review of all the risks that cyber poses to their
organisation (safety, security, operational, financial and reputational). This will
then be used to prioritise intervention by the perceived threat and potential
consequence of compromise.
Government: Will work with agencies to ensure that briefing provided by agencies
enables industry to understand the risk, and thereby assign the appropriate level
of resources to manage and mitigate any risks. The Government will also facilitate
industry forums where the sector can discuss the issues their organisations face
and share best practice.
Regulator: Will work with the NCSC and BEIS to ensure that its cyber security
capability continues to develop so it can continue to provide assurance to
Government and the general public that sites are identifying vulnerabilities through
their multi-function inspection programme.
