Who's behind this

About this site

This hub is an independent guide to the Cyber Security and Resilience Bill, operated by CyPro Ltd, a UK cyber security consultancy. It is not affiliated with the government, Parliament or the NCSC. It exists to explain the Bill properly, keep the facts current and sourced, and offer real help to the organisations preparing for it.

Most writing about the Cyber Security and Resilience Bill comes from law firms (accurate, rarely practical) or vendors (practical, rarely complete). CyPro sits in the gap: a UK cyber security consultancy that is itself an in-scope managed service provider, tracking the Bill for its clients and for its own business. That gives it a practitioner's view of what the Bill is likely to require, and which preparations are worth starting now.

Every fact on this site traces to a primary source: the Bill, the government policy statement, gov.uk and Parliament publications, NCSC guidance and the NIS Regulations 2018 the Bill updates. Pages carry a last-reviewed date, and we update them when the government or Parliament publish. The Bill has not yet received Royal Assent, so much remains to be settled, and where that is the case we say so rather than rounding it off.

To be clear about independence: this is a commercial site run by a consultancy that helps organisations prepare for cyber regulation. It is not government guidance, and it never replaces reading the Bill or taking legal advice on the hard scoping questions. What it does is make the coming regime genuinely navigable, so you can prepare early rather than react late.
