Winner Winner: 2025 Cybersecurity and Resilience Awards

Handley Gill is the winner of the 2025 Cybersecurity and Resilience Award for Best Cybersecurity Awareness Campaign for our work securing amendments to the Institute of Directors’ voluntary Code of Conduct for Directors to reflect that risk management, including cyber risk, and business resilience across supply chains are essential tenets of responsible business. But we’re not stopping there, and are calling on the government to incorporate several provisions into the Cybersecurity & Resilience Bill to protect the people, property and prosperity of UK plc.

Shortlisted: 2025 Cybersecurity and Resilience Awards

Handley Gill Limited has been shortlisted for the 2025 Cybersecurity and Resilience Awards for its campaign to get company directors and charity trustees to address cyber security and business resilience, including in respect of their supply chains, and its success in lobbying the Institute of Directors to recognise risk management and business resilience as a core tenet of responsible business in its Code of Conduct for Directors.

DORA do right

Handley Gill’s specialist ESG and human rights consultants consider the matters that financial entities should be considering when assessing their third party ICT service providers’ compliance with ethical and social responsibilities under Article 6(1)(f) Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2024/1773 and the EU Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA).

Does DORA say do?

With just one month until the EU Digital Operational Resilience Act becomes applicable, Handley Gill’s consultants examine the requirements imposed by DORA on financial entities and, by extension, their third party ICT service providers in relation to their contractual arrangements and obligations to provide information, and identify where financial entities may be seeking to impose adverse commercial terms on their supply chain under the guise of DORA compliance.

Security stimulus

New guidance on good industry practice for directors issued by the Institute of Directors obliges directors and boards to identify and mitigate information and cyber security risks, and to prioritise business resilience, bringing a renewed focus to cyber resilience and supply chain security.

Duty free?

Handley Gill Limited calls on the Institute of Directors to amend its proposed voluntary Code of Conduct for Directors of UK companies to reflect risk management as a core tenet of responsible business and to promote business resilience across supply chains, to help UK plc win the war on cyber crime and safeguard the UK’s people, property and prosperity.
