The Board is responsible for ensuring that risks to delivering the strategy are identified, evaluated, and mitigated in line with the business risk appetite. Board members can ensure that cyber security is given appropriate investment against other competing business demands. Any organisation relying on digital technology is at risk of a cyber incident. 

Additionally, committees reporting to the board and security practitioners may find the Essential activities section useful in ensuring the organisation is adopting best practices. 

The NCSC Cyber Security Toolkit for Boards (Version 2.0) Playbook addresses the following:

Create the right environment:
  • Embedding cyber security in your organisation
  • Developing a positive cyber security culture
  • Growing cyber security expertise
Get the right information:
  • Identifying the critical assets in your organisation
  • Understanding the cyber security threat
  • Use this information to evaluate and prioritise risks
Take steps to manage those risks:
  • Implementing effective cyber security measures
  • Collaborating with your supply chain and partners
  • Planning your response to cyber incidents
