NCSC Cyber Assessment Framework (CAF) Compliance

Achieve Cyber Resilience with the NCSC CAF

The National Cybersecurity Centre (NCSC) Cyber Assessment Framework (CAF) is the UK’s recognised standard for assessing and improving cyber resilience across Critical National Infrastructure (CNI), public sector organisations, and other essential services. Our CAF Compliance Service ensures your organisation aligns with this national framework, strengthening your defensive, detection, and response capabilities.

What is the NCSC CAF?

The Cyber Assessment Framework (CAF) is a structured approach to assessing and improving cybersecurity maturity across organisations that support the UK’s essential services.

It is structured around four key objectives and 14 security principles, covering:

  • Managing Security Risk – Governance, risk management, asset protection, and supply chain security.
  • Protecting Against Cyber Attacks – Access control, data security, system security, and network resilience.
  • Detecting Cyber Security Events – Security monitoring and proactive threat discovery.
  • Minimising the Impact of Cyber Incidents – Incident response, recovery planning, and lessons learned.

Organisations aligning with the CAF framework enhance their ability to defend against cyber threats, reduce disruption risks, and comply with UK security standards.

Strengthen Cyber Resilience – Secure essential services against cyber threats and attacks.

Prepare for Cyber Oversight Body Assessments – Demonstrate security governance and risk management maturity.

Improve Incident Response & Recovery – Minimise operational downtime during cyber incidents.
