The UK is heading toward a cliff edge on cybersecurity regulation, as UK partner nations move quickly to regulate and enforce compliance to cybersecurity risk management.

The EU NIS 2.0, EU DORA, U.S ONCD cyber strategy, SEC proposal, DoD DFARS program, Australian cyber strategy and even the NYDFS legislate/ regulate and enforce cybersecurity and risk management regimes. Regimes that impact UK national interests, defensive cyber strategy, corporate cybersecurity and cyber compliance.

UK cyber regulations are not fit for purpose and the UK is lagging behind their partners today. The UK has little or no influence over the cyber regulations set by it’s partners or the enforcement regimes they implement. The U.S. DoD DFARS/ CMMC program is a case in point, the DoD set NISP SP 800-171 cybersecurity requirements across its DIB, that include UK defence contractors. Or the requirements set out in NIS 2.0 or DORA that require EU CNI providers, their supply chains, ICT providers and FIs to implement strict cybersecurity risk management. One does not see the DoJ being best friends when it comes to cyber compliance.

The UK sits within a global market place, a market place that is regulating cyber risk management. One hopes the UK will announce how it will align with partner nation cyber defence strategy and support UK industry. The U.S and EU are already out of the starting gates.
