The Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport is launching a call for views on UK data storage and processing infrastructure, security and resilience. This takes forward the government’s commitments in the National Data Strategy and National Cyber Strategy to develop a stronger risk management framework to address the risks to UK data storage and processing infrastructure.

Addressing these risks is critical due to two factors, first, the strategic importance of data makes infrastructure where large volumes of data accumulate an attractive target to those hostile to the UK and, second, we rely on the crucial services that large-scale data storage and processing infrastructure underpin.

The call for views primarily focuses on the security and resilience of data centre infrastructure and cloud platform infrastructure.

This call for views closes on Sunday 7 August 2022.
