Cyber services

The Cyber GSeC closed on 1 April 2026.

Some cyber security services previously delivered through Cyber GSeC have moved into the Government Cyber Unit (GCU) within the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS).

This change brings cyber security services together in one place and supports delivery of the Government Cyber Action Plan.
