The Department assesses its cybersecurity risks in line with the NCSC Cyber Security Baseline Standards. These Standards cover the identification and mitigation of risks arising from third-party suppliers, ensuring that supply-chain vulnerabilities are examined as part of the Department’s overall cybersecurity approach.
With the forthcoming NIS2 legislation my Department is in the process of reviewing its current third-party risk management processes to ensure it meets new requirements within this legislation.
