MSS Cyber Insights Episode 1 – The UK Cyber Security and Resilience Bill (CSRB): What You Need To Know

The UK Cyber Security and Resilience Bill (CSRB) is here. Introduced to Parliament on 12th November 2025, it reforms the UK Network Information Systems (NIS) Regulations 2018. CSRB has expanded its scope and broadened government powers to enable much-needed cybersecurity and business resilience measures that impact all of us in the UK.

The regulations require organisations to manage risks if they relate to the functioning of network and information systems that are relied on, specifically:

• Cyber Security Risks – Protection against threats such as hacking, malware, ransomware, and data breaches. 
• Physical security and broader operational resilience risks – Protection against disruption arising from physical threats and hazards – This is where MSS will help you!

In the first of the MicroSystem Support Cyber Insights webinar series, we welcome Jonathan McDonald, Partner, Osborne Clarke, who will share thoughts and guidance on the new Bill.

The key themes and learning objectives from the webinar include:

• What is CSBR, and why is it necessary?
• Which sectors and services are now in scope?
• What are the new obligations and reporting requirements?
• What are the expanded regulatory powers, and what impact will that have?
• What are the penalties for non-compliance?
• What should companies be doing now that CSBR is here?
