Code of Practice: Cyber Security in the Built Environment – revised second edition

Business continuity and security are becoming increasingly challenging to manage as the technical complexity of the built environment increases.

Today’s intelligent buildings are heavily dependent upon the extensive and increasingly integrated use of information and communications technologies. 

This Code of Practice explains why and how cyber security should be considered throughout a building’s lifecycle and explains current best practice, focusing on building-related systems and all inter-connections to the wider cyber environment.

It provides clear practical guidance on the key aspects of cyber security relating to specific jobs and responsibilities in maintaining the security of a building. 

Contents include:

  • An introduction and overview of the area
  • The five top-level security principles that should be applied to the application of digital technologies in the built environment
  • Security over a built assets’ lifecycle
  • Managing technical aspects
  • Managing process and procedure aspects
  • Managing people aspects
  • Applying the code of practice.

The new edition supported and sponsored by the NCSC has involved considerable restructuring of the work which will be of value to a wide range of job functions connected to the design, management, operation and security of any building-related systems.
