In 2016, the government’s National Cyber Security Strategy made a commitment to developing a cyber security professional body in the UK. Now, in this consultation, the government has set out potential structures and responsibilities this body would take on, in addition to consulting on the timeframes and budgets necessary to achieve this. Since the release of the strategy in 2016, BCS has been working with relevant organisations to put together a collaborative Alliance capable of taking on this portfolio of work, by having the expertise and experience to command authority in the cyber security space.
