<p>The Government Cyber Security Strategy, published in January 2022, sets out how
we will build and maintain our cyber defences; by building greater cyber resilience
across all government organisations, and working together to ‘defend as one’ - exerting
a defensive force greater than the sum of our parts.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>The
strategy sets a clear target for government’s most critical functions to be appropriately
resilient by 2025, with all government organisations being resilient to known vulnerabilities
and common attack methods by 2030.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>The strategy will
see us roll out GovAssure in April as the foundation of a new, more robust independent
assurance regime for the whole of government. With its foundations in the National
Cyber Security Centre’s Cyber Assessment Framework, it will help us to understand
our risk at scale and put us on the pathway to reducing it, as well as aligning Government
with the best practice in management of wider UK Critical National Infrastructure
sectors. Results of these reviews will not be published publicly for reasons of security.
The progress on adopting the Cyber Assessment Framework across HMG is that pilots
have been conducted with 3 government departments, and the wider scheme will launch
in April.</p><p> </p>
