GovAssure
GovAssure is the cyber security scheme for assessing government critical systems.
GovAssure is the cyber security scheme for assessing government critical systems against NCSC’s Cyber Assessment Framework (CAF). The process provides government organisations with visibility of cyber security risks, and support to understand and manage them more effectively.
GovAssure supports the aims of the Government Cyber Action Plan. It is designed for OFFICIAL government systems, including government sector critical national infrastructure (CNI).
The Government Cyber Security Policy Handbook supports government organisations to build capabilities which meet the requirements of the CAF.
