The UK Government has introduced a new Cyber Governance Code of Practice.
This code is to help organisations, including charities, strengthen their approach to cyber risk. Trustees often rely on digital tools and platforms and it’s therefore essential that cyber security is addressed not only by IT teams but also at board level.
The Code encourages leadership to:
- Understand cyber risks specific to their organisation.
- Put proportionate controls in place.
- Develop and test incident response plans.
As always, RHI will continue to provide support in this area for our clients and we recommend reviewing the NCSC's guidance, as well as considering Cyber Essentials certification.
