Governance in brief — Cyber risk: how are boards responding?
If a board does not regularly consider cyber risk, how can the board effectively discharge its duties to direct the affairs of the company? The Government’s third annual FTSE 350 survey, the UK Cyber Governance Health Check, shows the current level of board awareness of cyber risk and assesses the way governance is exercised over cyber risk in the largest UK listed businesses.
This edition of Governance in brief explores the findings of this survey and shares some ideas on questions directors can use to determine how ready the company is to meet cyber risk challenges.
