The UK Cyber Security Council is pleased to confirm that, in partnership with The Cyber Scheme, we have successfully completed a pilot for professional registration in the new  Cyber Security Management specialism.

As part of this pilot, a small number of participants have now been awarded professional titles aligned to this specialism and we’re pleased to welcome them as registrants on the Professional Register.

The positive outcomes of the pilot mark an important step forward in expanding the Council’s professional framework.

By establishing the new Cyber Security Management specialism within our Standard for Professional Competence and Commitment, we are continuing our work to ensure that professional registration in cyber security reflects the full breadth of roles and skills that are key to the UK’s cyber resilience.

Following this successful pilot, work to formally open professional registration in the Cyber Security Management specialism will commence in the coming months, with the intention to open applications later in the Spring.

Further updates will be communicated through the Council’s official channels in due course.
