Who writes this
CyPro Consulting Ltd publishes this site. Its consultants advise organisations across the UK on resilience, assessment and incident response, and they use that experience to explain what a government warning means for a working IT or security team.
Accuracy
Keeping it right
Each fact links back to where it came from, and the sources page lists every publication used. The NCSC's own pages come first. Press coverage fills in only what those pages do not state, and the copy says when that is so.
Every page shows the date it was last reviewed. When the story moves, for instance if the NCSC issues new guidance, we revisit the pages affected and change them.
Limits
What to expect
This is information, not legal advice. It does not announce any new legal duty; it reports what the NCSC and the press have said.

Need a hand getting ready?
Reading the rules is one job. Mapping them to your organisation, closing the gaps and showing the evidence are several more. CyPro's consultants can take any of them off your plate.
Fractional CISO for the board
A senior security lead who advises the board on what to fix first, what to accept and what to tell customers, and owns the decision record.

Penetration testing
A focused test of your systems and the controls around them, so you know they hold before an attacker finds out for you.

Hardening and segmentation
Our consultants put the controls in place that limit the damage when something is missed: firewall rules, network isolation and tighter admin access.

24/7 security monitoring
Our SOC analysts watch your systems day and night for the signs of an attack in progress: unexpected processes, new outbound connections, logins that do not fit.
