Prepare for new and adapting critical infrastructure cyber security regulations to continue safe and compliant operations.
Identify your requirements — where and how you operate.
It can be challenging to get a firm grasp of complex web of existing and evolving security regulations, especially if you operate across industries, sectors, and geographic regions.
NCC Group collaborates with governments and regulatory bodies, leveraging our insights and expertise to empower decision-makers and enhance cyber rules and regulations worldwide, ensuring a safer and more secure world.
Increasing security requirements
Stay ahead of evolving frameworks.
As threats increase, security requirements have to become more stringent and complex to keep up, especially around covering system policies, business continuity, incident handling, and cyber hygiene practices.
Increasing regulatory scope
Gain visibility of moving goalposts.
The legal definitions of critical infrastructure and what it means to be secure signal a big change in regulatory scope. That means new regulations could apply to you.
Incident reporting
Prepare for the worst.
Deadlines around reporting cyber incidents and breaches are getting tighter and tighter. If you become a victim, will your incident response policies and processes comply?
Supply chain
Nip breaches in the bud.
As supply chains become more complex and based in the cloud, organizations bear a bigger responsibility around keeping it secure. You’ll need visibility of your suppliers, and their suppliers too.
