The Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT) and the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) are supporting Barclays, Lloyds Banking Group, Nationwide, NatWest, Santander UK and TSB to expand the role Cyber Essentials plays in their supply chain risk management processes.

This statement sets out the importance of good cyber security in the supply chain and how Cyber Essentials can help improve the cyber resilience of businesses and organisations.

The government and participating banks encourage other businesses to follow this example and incorporate Cyber Essentials into supplier requirements. This will raise cyber security expectations across the UK, enhance the security posture of the economy and make the UK a safer place to do business.

This statement was published as part of the 10 year anniversary of Cyber Essentials.
