The UK is gearing up to significantly strengthen its cyber security laws with a new Cyber Security and Resilience Bill (CSRB).
This upcoming legislation has already been outlined in an official policy statement in April 2025, and will aim to modernise and expand the country’s existing framework (the Network and Information Systems Regulations 2018) to keep pace with escalating cyber threats. In essence, CSRB will bring more organisations and digital services under cyber security regulation, impose stricter requirements, like mandatory incident reporting and supply chain protections, and give regulators sharper teeth to enforce compliance.
This guide covers:
- Wider scope – More organisations and services will be brought into regulation.
- Tougher supply chain rules – New obligations could affect key third-party providers.
- Faster reporting – Expect stricter timelines and new transparency requirements.
- Clearer standards – Formal rules are coming, but what will they mean for you?
- Action steps – Find out what your business should be doing to prepare now
