A draft Code of Practice on cyber security governance will help directors and senior leaders shore up their defences from cyber threats, as the UK Government launches a new call for views from business leaders.
Aimed at executive and non-executive directors and other senior leaders, the measures look to establish cyber security issues as a key focus for businesses, putting them on an equal footing with other threats like financial and legal pitfalls. As part of this, the Code recommends that directors set out clear roles and responsibilities across their organisations, boosting protections for customers and safeguarding their ability to operate safely and securely.
The UK government is seeking views on the draft Code and invites responses by 11:59pm on Tuesday 19 March 2024.

To further support organisations to improve their cyber security and provide more clarity on best practice, the UK Government have published its response to a call for views on software resilience and security, to help address software risks and make organisations more resilient to cyber threats.
