	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/12/2023 answer text <p>The Government works constantly to strengthen the security and resilience of UK Critical National Infrastructure (CNI).</p><p> </p><p>The Cabinet Office works closely with Lead Government Departments to understand, manage and mitigate the impacts of cyber risk to their corresponding CNI sectors. Each CNI sector's security and resilience is overseen by a Lead Government Department, and it is that Department's Minister that will hold overall accountability for that CNI sector. The UK Government also works closely with the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC), the UK's national technical authority. NCSC are working with CNI operators to help them find the cyber exercising and incident management services they need from the marketplace by expanding the NCSC’s accredited scheme for Cyber Incident Response and introducing a new scheme for exercising.</p><p> </p><p>At Cyber UK 2023, the Deputy Prime Minister announced that we have set specific and ambitious cyber resilience targets for all critical national infrastructure sectors to meet by 2025. This is alongside examining plans to bring more private sector businesses working in critical national infrastructure within the scope of cyber resilience regulations. This work will further our ambition to understand and manage cyber risk.</p><p> </p><p>Through the National Cyber Strategy, the Government is working to improve resilience to cyber risks across the UK economy and drive organisations to take action themselves as part of a whole of society approach. Over the past year, the Cabinet Office has been progressing foundational work to support the creation of common but flexible resilience standards across CNI and do more on the assurance of CNI, including cyber assurance preparedness by 2030.</p><p /><p /> <p> </p> answering member constituency Brentwood and Ongar answering member printed Alex Burghart question first answered 12/12/2023 16:43:52 answering member 4613 label Biography information for Alex Burghart

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/01/2024 answer text <p>As the regulator of the private security industry, the Security Industry Authority (SIA) is responsible for the licensing of individuals wishing to work in roles which fall under the scope of the Private Security Industry Act 2001. Before issuing a licence, the SIA conducts an assessment of suitability in line with the published licensing criteria (<a href="https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/62e257e3e90e071434354438/sia-get-licensed.pdf" target="_blank">Get Licensed</a>). The SIA can update the licensing criteria, subject to approval by the Secretary of State.</p><p>To ensure that applicants are fit and proper to obtain an SIA licence, the regulator undertakes both a right to work and criminal record checks. In addition to these checks, the SIA requires prescribed qualifications for certain front-line roles (for example, a Level 2 Award for Working as a Door Supervisor). This assessment, prior to granting an individual licence, together with the SIA’s ability to suspend or revoke active licences when operatives fall below the fit and proper threshold, forms the current model of regulation.</p><p>The public must have confidence that licensed operatives have undertaken mandatory training. If the SIA finds that a licence holder has not completed all the required training and there is doubt over the validity of the qualification, the SIA will suspend or revoke their licence. The SIA is working with qualification regulators and awarding organisations to respond to instances of training malpractice, and to prevent learners from acquiring unsound qualifications. The Home Office continues to engage with the SIA on this issue and will support measures to end training malpractice.</p> answering member constituency Croydon South answering member printed Chris Philp grouped question UIN 9216 question first answered 16/01/2024 17:42:09 answering member 4503 label Biography information for Chris Philp
