DSIT and NCSC launch new Cyber Governance Code of Practice

On 8 April 2025, the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT) and the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) released a new Cyber Governance Code of Practice, shaped by industry consultation in 2024. The code sets out actions for boards and directors to tackle cyber security risks across five areas: risk management, strategy, people, incident planning, and assurance. It sits within a broader governance package featuring training and an implementation toolkit, aimed chiefly at medium and large organisations. The initiative was created in light of data showing that 74% of large businesses faced cyber attacks in the past year. See: LNB News 08/04/2025 8.

Accordingly, you must consider the particular rules and court guide provisions in the forum where your claim is proceeding when drawing up the Tomlin order...
