I have nothing further to add what I have said in previous sittings.
I thank the noble Lord, Lord Markham, for raising this important issue again. Good data hygiene and security is essential to ensuring that public bodies are resilient to cyber attacks. Through the Bill, we are better protecting data, to make our essentia
I am grateful to the noble Lord for raising this topic through his amendment, and I recognise the strength of feeling on reforming the Computer Misuse Act. I agree that the UK should have the right legislative framework to allow us to tackle the threats
I resume with Amendments 174A and 174B, which were introduced by the noble Lord, Lord Markham. They would require the Secretary of State to create a register of “foreign powers” that pose a threat to UK cyber security, to review this register and to lay
I thank noble Lords for their amendments, starting with Amendment 148A, from the noble Lord, Lord Clement-Jones, which indeed is in line with the recommendation from the Constitution Committee, which I thank for its report and its detailed scrutiny of t
My Lords, I thank the noble Baroness for her amendment and for linking the issue of cyber security with wider questions on national resilience; she is absolutely right to situate it in that space. I also thank her for introducing the topic of the right a
My Lords, I thank the noble Baroness for her amendment, in particular her focus on the importance of the skills and competence of the UK cyber security professionals on whom we all rely and our economy will continue to rely. As the noble Lord, Lord Vaize
Going back to the point made by the noble Lord in an earlier intervention, the Bill is a substantive Bill that substantially increases coverage of the digital infrastructure on which much of our economy relies. That is a very important point. As I mentio
That is well noted.
For all digital services, as many noble Lords have pointed out, government departments are required to carry out robust security and resilience assessments in their procurement to ensure that the actions of foreign states or hostil
It has announced a series of measures, including actions from Microsoft and Amazon, to support greater choice for UK businesses and the public sector.
On my noble friend Lady Berger’s question, it is true that cloud spend is distributed across departm
I thank noble Lords for continuing the debate with which we ended the previous session: the very important topic of the technological and digital sovereignty of the UK. That is very important to this Government and we are taking action on it. It possibly
Let me work backwards here. The noble Baroness makes a very good point: the services delivered at local level often mirror those at central government level. At the moment, we are consulting on the question of the best value duty to give additional promi
The general approach is that the lead government department has responsibility for ensuring cyber security in the areas that it covers. I will need to write to my noble friend specifically on exam boards and examining authorities. I know that the DfE su
The cyber action plan is a very thorough document. It sets out a plan over many years to improve the cyber resilience of the Government and the public sector, which I think we all agree is absolutely needed. The fact that incidents are still occurring i
It is not the same. I wish to stress that the importance of strengthening cyber resilience can happen outside of legislation being put in place. There are many efforts that can go on to improve cyber resilience.
Moving on to the amendment of the noble
I absolutely intend to talk about the public sector. Given the numerous sectors that have been raised, I also want to respond individually on each sector. I absolutely agree that all sectors need to improve their cyber resilience; it is not the case for
I am not only committing; I am offering, so I am happy to have the noble Lord confirm that that would be good. I am absolutely offering that as part of the engagement ahead of Report.
I have heard the numerous areas that have been raised for inclusion
I have highlighted a few of those criteria regarding the extent to which the activity is essential to the economy or the day-to-day functioning of society in all or part of the UK. Obviously, we already have the list of critical national infrastructure.
I was referring to the process by which sectors can be brought into scope of the Bill, as set out in it and using the powers in the Bill. That would follow the process I just mentioned, which would be subject to consultation and the affirmative procedure
My Lords, I thank noble Lords for raising so many aspects of the scope of the Bill. I recognise the sentiment among noble Lords today about the importance of expanding its scope. Our approach has been to target regulatory requirements on a select number
I am happy to write to explain how the security and resilience requirements fit into the structure of the Bill and the consultation and scrutiny that they will undergo.
Obviously, we have not yet gone out to consultation on the security and resilience requirements; we will do that after the Bill passes. I can certainly update on the process, the expectation and how that links with the enforcement duties in further detai
We will consult on the security and resilience requirements that will come out of the Bill. They will contain a requirement on board governance and those expectations will be set out as a result of the Bill. The regulators and others enforcing the Bill
I thank the noble Baronesses who introduced their amendments, including the noble Baroness, Lady Kidron, who did so on behalf of the noble Baroness, Lady Morgan, for raising the incredibly important topic of board accountability and senior management ove
That would indeed be very valuable to discuss the questions around definition, scope, coverage, timeliness and impact on potential entities—sorry, I have just expanded our agenda.
