Summary

Hide ▲

The Public Bill Committee has opened scrutiny of the Cyber Security and Resilience Bill (CSRB) by asking industry for written views, giving UK critical infrastructure sectors a direct chance to shape the legislation before it advances. Oral evidence begins on February 3, the committee is expected to report by March 5, and the bill then moves toward third reading and later stages. The CSRB is intended to replace the NIS Regulations 2018 with a broader, NIS2-style cyber-regulatory framework. Proposed changes include wider scope, tighter incident reporting rules, more proactive supply chain risk controls, and security requirements drawn from the NCSC Cyber Assessment Framework (CAF).
