Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, in what ways the National Cyber Security Centre interacts with Government Departments; and whether that Centre meets regularly with those Departments.

The National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) regularly works with Government Departments and agencies to provide authoritative and coherent advice on how to protect their networks and manage the cyber risks to the data they hold. The NCSC has dedicated engagement teams which cover all economic sectors and departments. The NCSC draws on these relationships when coordinating the government’s response to national level cyber security incidents.
