NCSC Opens Cyber Resilience Audit Scheme to Applicants
19-August-24
The UK’s National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) has officially launched a scheme designed to find auditors for a new cyber-resilience initiative. The Cyber Resilience Audit (CRA) scheme was announced at the CYBERUK conference in May. This new NCSC scheme assures providers who can conduct independent Cyber Assessment Framework (CAF) based audits, which will focus initially on supporting some nationally critical sectors. The CRA scheme’s focus is squarely on the common requirements of all the oversight bodies and providing assurance that suppliers meet them. Once suppliers are on the scheme, they are then eligible to put themselves forward to conduct audits in specific sectors – as long as they meet any additional requirements laid down by the oversight body.
