The Government Cyber Security Strategy was published in 2022. We are working to upgrade our existing protections to ensure that our critical functions are significantly hardened to cyber attack by 2025, with all our functions being resilient to known vulnerabilities and attack methods no later than 2030. This will make us more resilient and protect the personal data we hold.

This year the Cabinet Office has adopted GovAssure and the underpinning Cyber Assessment Framework (CAF) as the mechanism by which we assure the cyber security of the services we deliver.
