The 2019 National Cyber Security Strategy set out a series of measures to further improve and develop the capacity of the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC). In order to assess the capacity of the NCSC to deliver its objectives as set out in the strategy, an external review of the NCSC has been commissioned. The capacity review, which commenced in January 2021, is examining the current organisational structure, staffing, work processes and financing of the NCSC and will benchmark these criteria against international best practice models.  

Work in relation to the capacity review is on-going and the report of the external experts is expected in mid Q2. The findings of the review will then be considered and will inform decisions to be taken on the future resourcing of the NCSC.
