Funding and support for UK organisations

Cyber security for every organisation

We believe every UK organisation, whatever its size, IT experience or budget, should be able to protect itself online. It’s the same goal behind the National Cyber Security Centre’s mission to make the UK the safest place to live and work online.

The best place to start is the UK Government’s recommended baseline: the core cyber security controls set out in Cyber Essentials. Digital Funding brings together the grants, funded schemes, incentives and free support that help organisations take that first step affordably, then keep building from there.

New to cyber security? The NCSC has free, plain-English advice for small and medium sized organisations and for sole traders and the self-employed.
