Does your business have a security action plan?

With UK tech startups being prime targets for intellectual property theft, a new initiative is underway to boost their defences.

The National Protective Security Authority (NPSA) and the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) have launched a new online tool to help founders and leaders of innovative businesses protect their ideas.

The Secure Innovation Personalised Action Plan tool invites you to answer a few simple questions about your company and any existing security arrangements to get a bespoke, free security action plan for your business.  

The tool is easy to use and gives clear advice to help you build strong security practices, making your business more resilient to cyber threats. Greater cyber resilience will lead to stronger protection for your IP, competitive advantage, and reputation.

The NPSA and NCSC welcome feedback to improve the tool further. If you would like to share your thoughts, you can complete a feedback form online.

More guidance on keeping your business secure is available on the Secure Innovation website, along with information on security risk scenarios, background checks, travel security, security for growing companies, and security for investors.
