Government funding to help SMEs protect their IP | Computer Weekly
Briefly

Up to 500 UK SMEs can access funding to enhance their intellectual property protection through the Secure Innovation Security Review (SISR) scheme. For a £500 buy-in, businesses receive £2,500 in government support that includes tailored risk guidance, advice on onboarding checks to mitigate insider threats, and additional security measures against cyber attacks. The program aims to fortify defenses against state-backed competitors and cyber criminals targeting valuable data, especially from nations like China, which employ sophisticated tactics against UK organizations.
"States, state-backed competitors and cyber criminals target cutting-edge ideas and valuable data, exploiting gaps in cyber and protective security defences to launch attacks that can cripple organisations and steal their most sensitive innovations."
"That's why building resilience is no longer optional - it's essential for business growth and survival. I encourage SMEs across the UK to take advantage of the NCSC and NPSA-backed Secure Innovation Security Reviews scheme."
