DCMS has announced new plans to enhance the security of the UK’s critical supply chains. The proposal could require Managed Service Providers to meet the current Cyber Assessment Framework – a set of 14 cyber security principles designed for organisations that play a vital role in the day-to-day life of the UK. This includes:
- Having policies to protect devices and prevent unauthorised access
- Ensuring data is protected at rest and in transit
- Keeping secure and accessible backups of data
- Training staff and pursuing a positive cyber security culture
- Protecting the network from cyber-attacks
