UK and EU cyber regulations are coming into force, raising compliance pressure for critical national infrastructure organizations and reshaping security investment priorities. The shift is being driven by CSRB, NIS2, and the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA), alongside an overhaul of the NCSC Cyber Assessment Framework (CAF). For UK CNI firms, the practical impact is a tighter compliance roadmap and more emphasis on demonstrable cyber capability.
