With cyber attacks increasing in frequency and complexity, the UK Government is introducing a new Cyber Security and Resilience Bill, legislation that could significantly impact how businesses handle digital risk and data protection.
This bill isn’t limited to large companies. If your business uses or provides essential digital services, cloud platforms, or e-commerce solutions, you may be directly affected.
Now is the time to review your cyber strategy, strengthen your defences, and ensure you’re compliant.
What’s Changing with the New Cyber Security Bill?
The proposed legislation aims to standardise and strengthen the UK’s approach to cyber resilience, with a focus on:
- Broader Business Coverage
More industries and service providers will fall under new cybersecurity obligations, particularly those using or offering:
- Cloud services (e.g. Microsoft 365, AWS, Azure)
- Communication tools (e.g. Teams, Slack, Zoom)
- E-commerce platforms (e.g. Shopify, Amazon Marketplace)
- Payment gateways (e.g. Stripe, PayPal, WorldPay)
- Managed IT services (e.g. remote desktop and infrastructure)
- Critical SaaS tools (e.g. Salesforce, SAP, Workday)
- Mandatory Incident Reporting
Businesses will face clearer, stricter rules on how and when they must report cyber incidents, making proactive planning and fast response essential. - Tougher Regulatory Powers
Regulators will gain greater authority to audit systems, enforce compliance, and issue penalties for non-compliance or late reporting.
