CAF for Local Government

Helping councils achieve the objectives and principles of the Cyber Assessment Framework

Councils face growing cyber threats and evolving compliance demands, making alignment with the Cyber Assessment Framework (CAF) a key priority. Developed by the UK’s National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC), CAF provides a structured way to assess and improve cybersecurity maturity across governance, risk management, and operational security. For councils, this means safeguarding essential services, meeting regulatory standards, and maintaining public trust.

If your organisation is using or considering the CAF to assess the extent to which cyber risks to essential functions are being managed then you’ll very likely be required to invest time and effort to develop new or updated policy, process and procedure content as part of the exercise.

Policy Management as a Service (PMaaS) provides a fast-track mechanism to develop, deliver and maintain policy content aligned to the CAF, plus a range of other key IT standards such as ISO, PCI, CE+. 

The below examples show the alignment of our extensive library of best practice statements and policies to the contributing cyber security and resilience outcomes documented in the CAF.
