The Police Digital Service provides flexible, cost-effective access to experienced information security professionals without the overhead of a full-time team. Delivering services and support across a number of UK police forces, Information Security Management as a Service (ISMaaS) scales to meet your force’s priorities and national standards.
How it works
The service covers the full spectrum of security management, from implementing and maintaining an Information Security Management System (ISMS), through to providing support with governance and compliance, conducting audits, writing policies, and embedding a positive security culture to delivering bespoke security components based on organisational needs. This ensures that forces meet regulatory requirements and maintain strong cyber resilience.
