The scheme is managed by the National Cyber Security Centre. It is aimed at enterprise IT and not operations technologies such as telecoms systems. There are alternative schemes that cover the operational side of telecoms companies such as TBEST and Commodity Assured Service for Telecoms (CAS(T)).</p><p> </p><p>Telecommunications companies identified as Operators of Essential Services are required to implement cyber security improvements as a result of the Network Information Systems Directive (NIS Directive). This NIS Directive was transposed into UK domestic legislation in May 2018.

answer text <p>As stated in the National Cyber Security Strategy, the target is for the majority of commodity products and services available in the UK in 2021 to be more secure because they have their default security settings enabled by default or have security integrated into their design. We want to make the UK one of the safest places in the world to do business and be online. The Code of Practice is a step in that direction, by clarifying for manufacturers what good practice looks like. The sector is evolving and whilst the market continues to develop, DCMS will be working closely with manufacturers, including those that are looking to create new internet-connected consumer products to ensure that security is built into smart devices by design. Currently, we are seeking to achieve buy-in from manufacturers that cover a significant proportion of the UK.</p><p> </p><p>We also recognise the need for regulation that is based on the Code of Practice, and have already commenced work in this space. More information, including the scope of products likely to be covered, will be available in 2019.</p><p><strong> </strong></p>
