Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, pursuant to the Answer of 27 March 2019 to Question 235803, what performance indicators are used to assess the (a) number and (b) quality of the interactions between industry and the National Cyber Security Centre.

The National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) works closely with a range of industry partners in order to assess cyber security resilience and have up to date knowledge of the threats and risks faced. This is a cyclical process that enables guidance to be tailored to each sector and ensures NCSC provides quality advice to industry. To support this approach NCSC gathers a range of data to ensure impact. Given the variety of methods used to capture data numbers of interactions are not centrally measured.
