On Wednesday 31 July (14.00-15.30), techUK is delighted to be hosting a virtual workshop with the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT) on their proposed voluntary Code of Practice for Software Vendors.

On 15 May, DSIT launched a Call for Views on the Code of Practice for Software Vendors. This asks stakeholders to give their views on the design and implementation of the proposed code of practice. The proposed code of practice aims to improve the security and resilience of the software that underpins all digital technologies that organisations across our economy have come to rely upon.

This workshop is an opportunity for members to provide DSIT with your  feedback on this proposed policy. techUK's cyber team will also collate your feedback which will help to inform our response to the Call for Views. We encourage anyone with an interest in software resilience to attend this workshop, including those from organisations who develop and sell software as well as individuals with insights into software procurement. 

*Please note that DSIT are awaiting new ministers steer on the continuation of the consultations, should this have an impact we will update members accordingly.
