As part of the Government’s current review of cyber security incentives and regulations, Digital Minister Matt Warman has launched a call for evidence to seek views from across the industry.

The Review is looking at how the Government can help organisations protect themselves online and aims to:

• understand the barriers that prevent organisations from improving their cyber security;
• understand the effectiveness of existing regulations and guidance including GDPR and NIS; and
• develop a range of policy proposals to address any gaps.

As part of this, the call for evidence is seeking information and data on the barriers to taking action on cyber security, the information which would help organisations invest in cyber security, and what more organisations and the Government could do to stimulate more effective cyber risk management.

The Government welcomes input from all types of organisations in all sectors, especially organisations that influence and set market expectations, such as membership bodies, consultancies, auditors, insurers, investors, corporate and risk governance bodies, regulators and professional associations.

The call for evidence is open until 20 December 2019. To access the consultation, click here.
