NCSC and ICO sign MoU to forge deeper collaborative links | Computer Weekly>
– MP
National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) chief executive Lindy Cameron and information commissioner John Edwards have signed a joint memorandum of understanding (MoU) to establish deeper and more effective collaboration between the two organisations, recognising that while both have distinct niches, there are some areas where they could align their work, and “deconflict” on others.“It provides us with a platform and mechanism to improve cyber security standards across the board while respecting each other’s remits.”
Edwards added: “We already work closely with the NCSC to offer the right tools, advice and support to businesses and organisations on how to improve their cyber security and stay secure.This Memorandum of Understanding reaffirms our commitment to improve the UK’s cyber resilience so people’s information is kept safe online from cyber attacks.”
Some of the other key provisions in the MoU include a commitment on the ICO’s part to encourage organisations to engage with the NCSC on cyber security matters such as incident response, and incentivise them to do so, possibly by reducing potential regulatory penalties.
