The Institute of Directors (IoD) has welcomed the launch of the government’s new Cyber Governance package, which is underpinned by the Cyber Governance Code of Practice.
The Code of Practice shows boards and directors how to manage digital risks and protect their business from cyber-attacks.
It outlines how directors can build resilience to a wide range of cyber risks across their organisation.
The Code, which has been co-designed with technical experts from the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) and a range of governance experts across industry, focuses on the actions senior leaders should take to govern cyber risks effectively within their organisation.
Erin Young, Head of Innovation and Technology Policy at the IoD, commented: ‘With cyber-attacks becoming more frequent, harmful and costly, cyber resilience is now a crucial boardroom responsibility. The new Cyber Governance Code of Practice provides practical guidance for boards and directors to effectively govern cyber risk and safeguard future growth.’
