The UK Cyber Security and Resilience Bill represents the most significant shift in cyber regulation since GDPR. Announced in the King’s Speech 2024 and detailed in the UK Government Policy Statement (CP 1299), the Bill expands accountability for cyber resilience far beyond traditional IT functions — making it a board-level legal obligation.
This legislation strengthens the Network and Information Systems Regulations (NIS 2018), widening the scope to include Managed Service Providers (MSPs), data centres, and critical suppliers — requiring them to prove resilience, not just document it.
The Bill demands a new level of assurance, making demonstrable, automated evidence of cyber and operational resilience a regulatory necessity.
The Bill emphasizes several pillars of resilience — from continuous testing and supply-chain accountability to incident reporting and leadership responsibility.
Perpetuuiti’s Continuity Patrol™ and Continuity Vault™ solutions directly align with each requirement, enabling organizations to stay compliant and resilient.
The Policy Statement (Section 2.9) requires regular testing of recovery and resilience capabilities — with demonstrable evidence for regulators.
Continuity Patrol™ provides automated, non-disruptive resilience testing that validates recovery plans, infrastructure, and dependencies across production environments. It generates immutable, time-stamped evidence of every test, eliminating manual reporting and ensuring readiness at all times.
The Bill introduces new duties for organizations to understand and mitigate risks within their supply chains, with regulators empowered to designate “critical suppliers.”
Continuity Vault™ delivers air-gapped, immutable storage for recovery assets and runbooks, ensuring suppliers cannot compromise your continuity capabilities. It also provides risk-scoring dashboards for visibility into vendor dependencies and resilience maturity.
Cyber resilience under the Bill is a legal responsibility at the board level, reinforcing directors’ duties under the Companies Act 2006.
Continuity Vault™ gives executives real-time dashboards to monitor resilience posture, compliance scores, and incident readiness across the enterprise. Automated reports provide defensible proof of due diligence during regulator reviews or investigations.
The Bill emphasizes the ability to withstand and recover from disruption — not just defend against it.
Continuity Vault™, powered by GenAI and guided by Susan, the world’s first Agentic AI BCM Consultant, enables organizations to design, maintain, and test intelligent business continuity plans. Susan continuously learns from past disruptions, optimizes recovery strategies, and ensures critical services are always protected.
Covered entities must map all assets, processes, and technologies that support essential services.
Continuity Patrol™ automates mapping of dependencies across IT, facilities, and third parties, maintaining live visibility into resource relationships. It ensures continuity plans remain aligned with actual operating conditions and compliance requirements.
The Bill enforces resilience as a continuous responsibility, not a periodic exercise.
Continuity Patrol™ continuously monitors critical business functions, alerting teams to anomalies or service degradations in real time. Automated workflows help isolate issues, execute recovery protocols, and maintain service continuity — ensuring regulators see measurable resilience in action.
Regulators under the Bill gain powers to demand demonstrable evidence of compliance.
Continuity Patrol™ generates ISO 22301-compliant reports detailing recovery time objectives (RTOs), vulnerabilities, and service availability benchmarks. These reports serve as verifiable proof during inspections, audits, or incident investigations.
With implementation expected by 2026, organizations have a limited window to prepare.
Perpetuuiti’s Resilience Proof Gap Assessmenthelps organizations benchmark their current state against the Bill’s clauses and design a phased roadmap for compliance and operational resilience enhancement.
The UK Cyber Security & Resilience Bill complements other frameworks like NIS2, DORA, and the FCA/PRA Operational Resilience standards.
Perpetuuiti’s unified platform consolidates all these frameworks into a single compliance fabric — streamlining audits, reducing duplication, and ensuring consistent resilience governance across jurisdictions.
While the new regulatory requirements may seem complex, their goal is clear: to ensure your organization can prevent, withstand, and recover from cyber disruptions — safeguarding critical services and public trust.
Perpetuuiti’s Operational Resilience Platform equips your organization with the technology, automation, and intelligence needed to meet and exceed the Bill’s expectations.
