Cyber Assessment Framework (CAF)

The Cyber Assessment Framework (CAF) is a UK government-developed framework designed to help organisations assess and improve their cybersecurity resilience, particularly those operating in critical national infrastructure or regulated sectors. It is widely used by regulators to evaluate how well organisations manage cyber risk.

What does it cover?

CAF focuses on four key objectives:

Managing security risk
Protecting against cyber attack
Detecting cyber security events
Minimising the impact of incidents

Each objective is supported by detailed principles and outcomes that organisations must meet.

Who is it for?

Utilities (energy, water)
Transport
Healthcare
Digital service providers
Government and public sector organisations

Common challenges (we solve these)

We simplify CAF and make it practical to implement:

Understanding complex CAF requirements
Mapping existing controls to CAF principles
Lack of clear evidence for compliance
Limited internal expertise
Preparing for regulator scrutiny

Why is it important?
