Organisational Standards for Cyber Security: Government’s Call for Evidence

The government intends to select and endorse an organisational standard 
that best meets the requirements for effective cyber risk management. 
There are currently various relevant standards and guidance which can be 
confusing for organisations, businesses and companies that want to 
improve their cyber security.

BIS and Cabinet Office are therefore calling for bodies and groups of 
organisations to submit their evidence in support of their preferred 
cyber security standard.     Expressions of interest are requested 
before 8 April (as shown on the website).  BIS and Cabinet Office can 
then rationalise the submissions i.e. if a number of bodies want to 
submit on ISO27001 then we can invite them to get-together and put 
forward 1 submission between them.
