National Standards can be classified based on whether they are conceptual, rule based or value based:
- Principles - The defining characteristic of a principle document is that it is conceptual. It describes a target state or end goal without specifying how it will be achieved.
- Guidance/Policies/Standards - The defining characteristic of guidance, policies and standards are that they are rule based. The document specifies the rules to be applied to achieve a particular state.
- Technical Reference Templates - The defining characteristic of a template is that it is value based. It specifies exactly the values that must be used.
National Standards graded 4Pol are standards which meet the below criteria and should be considered first, before any other standard in that category, as they fit the National Policing Digital Strategy allowing forces and suppliers to converge on a single set of standards.
4Pol Criteria:
- Support minimum legal requirements where they exist
- Align with the National Policing Digital Strategy to ensure strategic alignment and design
- Align with the TechUK Justice & Emergency Services Interoperability Charter to deliver better data sharing, exchanging and exploitation
- Direct relevance and applicability to policing
- Represent best practice
- Able to be measured and achieved within the unique landscape of policing
National Standards graded MLR stem directly from legislative requirements, such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) standards. These are National Standards which represent the minimum requirements to ensure that data and technology in use is operated in a lawfully compliant manner. These should be considered the baseline in applicable categories.
National Standards are divided into broad categories based on their focus. To recognise there is no clear dividing line, some National Standards may possess two categories, but the selected category reflects the primary focus of the National Standard:
- Analytics - Digital systems capable of creating actionable information from structured or unstructured data
- Asset Management - The way in which IT assets are acquired, used and disposed of
- Incident, Crime and Records Management Systems
- Digital systems used to manage policing and corporate records
- Cloud - Remote, off-premises computer system resources which host a range of functions across a potentially wide range of distributed sites
- Data - Information held in a structured or unstructured digital format
- Devices - Physical devices capable of viewing, changing, creating, distributing or storing digital information
- Digital Media - Media stored in an electronic format from any source
- Enterprise Resource Planning - Enterprise resource planning (ERP) is the management of integrated business processes via a software solution
- Forensics - The use of investigative technology and methodology to gather intelligence and admissible evidence
- Intelligence Systems - Digital system used to view, change, create, distribute or store sensitive digital information
- Justice - Systems, technologies and methodologies used within the Criminal Justice System
- Mobility - Software specifically designed to run on a mobile device such as a phone, tablet or watch
- Office Productivity & Collaboration Systems - Software specifically designed to address specific business needs such as communication, collaboration, document creation and content management
- Operational Policing - Specialist operational policing functions
- Security - The technology and methodology used in the protection of digital assets and services

Information Management v1.0
This Standard defines the requirements to implement Information Management as mandated in the National Community Security Policy. It encompasses the management of policing information within the OFFICAL tier of the Government Security Classification model.
National Policing Community Security Policy Framework v1.3
This framework provides all National Policing and its partners with a clear guide of how information security policies and standards work in National Policing, the objectives of the framework, whom the framework and its supporting policy and principles apply to, whom has accountability for information security and risk and how policies will be governed.
National Policing Community Security Principles V1.3
This document provides all National Policing and its partners with a clear set of information security principles, which are the foundation to all information security activity.
System Development Standard
This standard outlines the functions within the Secure By Design (SbD) process, aligned to project stages, to ensure a consistent approach to cyber security is achieved throughout a system’s development. The purpose of this standard is to define an approach to ensure that all products / solutions are assured in a repeatable, structured and consistent way. This will enable security controls to be designed into solutions at an early stage, ensuring the secure delivery of solutions across policing, whilst identifying and managing risk to within risk appetite.
This standard adheres to the National Policing Community Security Policy Framework and is a suitable reference for community members, notably those who build and implement IT systems on behalf of national policing.
Cyber Threat and Incident Management v1.0
This Standard specifies the minimum requirements regarding cyber threat and incident processes and actions. It aims to provide PDS (Police Digital Service) and policing with clear direction to manage threat, vulnerabilities and incidents associated with cyber-attacks and cyber incidents.
NCSP Overseas IT Access Guidelines v1.1
This guidance describes best practice risk management controls for accessing Policing ICT resources whilst abroad. It also describes the circumstances when forces can make a local decision or when referral to NSIRO is required when use abroad is required.
Memorandum of understanding in relation to digital evidence sharing between the CPS and XX (police force) TEMPLATE
The purpose of this Memorandum of Understanding(“MOU”) is to detail the arrangements in place to enable the efficient sharing of multimedia evidence (“MME”) by the Relevant Police Force to the CPS via the relevant Digital Evidence Management System Link (“DEMS”).
OVERSEAS IT ACCESS GUIDELINES
This guidance describes best practice risk management controls for accessing Policing ICT resources whilst abroad. It also describes the circumstances when forces can make a local decision or when referral to NSIRO is required when use abroad is required.
NCSP Passwords standard V1.1
This Standard supports the principles set out in the National CSP, providing detailed guidance to those implementing and managing PDS & policing systems. This Standard applies to all passwords created for use on PDS & policing systems, including those for user-level accounts, system-level accounts, and any device-specific passwords.
National Police Information Security Risk Management Framework
This framework is to ensure that all security risks are identified, assessed, and managed in accordance with best practice in order to facilitate improved governance. It is mandatory for all information systems that hold Police information or which deliver an operational service to policing to undergo a risk assessment, as stipulated in the National Policing Community Security Policy. The Security Risk Management Framework mutually supports the Police Cyber Assurance Framework (PCAF). The framework supports the requirements of the National Community Security Policy (NCSP.)
