The UK Government and UK Ministry of Defence (MOD) launched the Cyber Essentials scheme in 2014 to reduce the levels of cyber security risk in supply changes.
It’s due the growth in frequency and sophistication of cyber security attacks and the increased risk posed to businesses, citizens, and the government supply chain when such attacks are successful.
The goal is to provide organizations of all sizes with basic protection from the most prevalent forms of online threats.
Since being introduced in 2014, these requirements have been added to new government contracts and include supply chain flow down obligations.
Along with other aspects of security, compliance, and integrity, GE Aerospace takes cyber security extremely seriously and requires its suppliers to do the same.
It is vital that the shared role and responsibility in protecting sensitive information, intellectual property, and critical systems is recognised across the supply chain.
Where UK Government & UK MOD Cyber Security Requirements are applicable to the provision of products or services, suppliers will be informed of the requirements, which are in addition to and do not replace GE Cyber Security requirements.
