A Ministerial Reminder: Cybersecurity is Now a Business Priority

In early October, the UK Government issued a Ministerial Letter on Cyber Security to leaders of major UK companies — a timely reminder that cyber resilience is not optional but a fundamental part of doing business in today’s digital economy.

The message from government is clear: as cyber threats evolve, senior business leaders and boards must take direct responsibility for ensuring their organisations are resilient against attacks. This means not just having the right tools, but embedding cybersecurity into governance, strategy, and risk management.

Why This Matters for UK Businesses

Cyber incidents are now one of the biggest operational risks facing UK organisations. The letter highlights growing concerns about attacks targeting supply chains, third-party services, and critical infrastructure.
But the reality is that no business is too small or too niche to be targeted. SMEs are increasingly in the crosshairs — often because they have fewer resources and less formal cybersecurity processes in place.

For many UK businesses, cybersecurity can feel overwhelming:

  • Regulations and compliance frameworks are constantly evolving

  • Technical language can be confusing or inaccessible

  • Budgets and resources are stretched thin

  • Finding or retaining skilled cybersecurity staff is increasingly difficult
