Government launches UK cyber security industry survey

The Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport (DCMS) is running a survey to gather data on the UK's cyber security industry.

The Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport has commissioned RSM’s Economic Consulting team (PACEC) to provide statistics about the size, scale and future opportunities for the UK Cyber Security sector.

This will include estimates of the sector’s revenue, employment and contribution to the UK economy. The research is being conducted in collaboration with Queen’s University Belfast’s Centre for Security Information Technology (CSIT).

The findings of the research will be used to inform government policy on cyber security and how government can support growth in the sector. This supports the Government’s aim to make the UK one of the most secure places to do business online and one of the world’s leading digital nations.

As part of the research, RSM is conducting a survey of organisations associated with the UK cyber security sector, including cyber security companies.

DCMS is keen to ensure that companies which offer cyber security products, services and solutions, whether as their sole business offer or as a proportion of their business activity, complete the survey. DCMS said it is important that as many organisations as possible associated with the UK cyber security sector respond to ensure the data collected is robust.
