The Cyber Security and Resilience Bill marks a step‑change in how the UK regulates the cyber resilience of essential, digital and managed services and their supply chains to strengthen economic and national security. Effective implementation, secondary legislation, and guidance to regulators and industry will be critical to ensuring the regime is proportionate, effective and delivers real‑world outcomes.

The policy team in the Department for Science Innovation and Technology responsible for the Bill and implementation will run a collaborative session at a formative moment in the policy cycle, as they develop the proposals for implementation ahead of formal consultation later this year.

The workshop will be structured as a policy studio, with facilitated discussions focused on specific elements of implementation, secondary legislation and other related products like guidance. Participants will be invited to share their expertise, insights, and operational realities, to help shape solutions that balance national security and resilience outcomes with compliance burdens.
