The ICO is leading on providing guidance and support to UK organisations and have already published a number of resources on the Commissioner's website (ico.org.uk) to help all organisations prepare.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/05/2018 answer text <p>The forthcoming Data Protection Bill will require all organisations to have appropriate technical and organisational cyber security measures in place to protect personal data. In addition, for critical services and digital service providers, the Government is transposing the Network and Information Systems Directive into UK Law which requires relevant digital service providers to take appropriate and proportionate measures to secure their network and information systems from both cyber attacks and physical failures.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/05/2018 answer text <p>The National Cyber Security Centre is focussed on the cyber security threat but works closely with its partners, CPNI and MOD, to ensure that the UK is protected against the hybrid threat. The NCSC seeks to provide actionable and accessible guidance and it also works closely with a range of key UK organisations to understand their systems, provide bespoke advice and ensure that cybersecurity is considered as part of new programmes and systems. The NCSC has also been strengthening the UK’s cyber defences through the Active Cyber Defence programme.</p><p> </p><p>It is the responsibility of all organisations to ensure they are sufficiently cyber secure and, while the threat of cyber attacks cannot be eliminated completely, organisations can and should reduce the risks by acting on NCSC issued guidance on how best to defend against cyber attacks. This guidance is widely available to all and updated regularly.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Ashton of Hyde question first answered 11/05/2018 10:40:35 answering member 4247 label Biography information for Lord Ashton of Hyde
