Abstract

National Policing will maintain public trust by securing our data and by applying a consistent, proportional approach to technology risk across policing. The National Policing Digital Strategy 2030 is built upon the 2025 Policing Vision to provide the foundations for Policing to deliver the National Digital Strategic objectives. In the future we will exchange more data and information with partners, adopt new connected technologies and move to cloud-based infrastructures. The move to a more open ecosystem cannot be at the expense of information security. This framework defines the holistic approach to information and technology risks by aligning to Government Security standards, guidance from the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) and industry best practice. The National Policing Community Security Policy Framework supports a proportionate baseline standard of cyber security for National Policing to deliver its operational and strategic objectives. As the cyber threat landscape facing the UK Police forces continues to evolve, so must the means by which forces maintain their security posture. The purpose of the National Policing Community Security Policy Framework is to provide the structure for information security for National Policing, suppliers, and partners to carry out their services securely. The National Policing Community Security Policy Framework, this document, will be referred to as the ‘Framework’ throughout this document. The scope of the ‘Framework’ applies to both this document and the supporting National Policing Information Security Policy and National Policing Information Security Principles that underpin the framework. Membership of the established ‘Community of Trust’ built under the original Community Security Policy, which is replaced by this framework and its supporting policy and principles, now requires alignment to this framework and its underlying policy and principles.
