Recommendation 16
16
Paragraph: 120
Ensure DSIT coordinates cyber policy and establish clear ministerial accountability for delivery.
Recommendation
The creation of the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology is an opportunity to ensure a comprehensive, joined up approach to cyber policy. We recommend that responsibilities for cyber policy is co-ordinated by the dedicated Department for Science, Innovation and Technology and that government ensures collaboration between the Department and other cyber-focused teams distributed across Whitehall. Ministers in the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology should be ultimately responsible and accountable for developing and delivering cyber policy except for national security measures.
