UK TSA Compliance Services

Introduction

Telecoms Security Act  compels telecom providers to better manage security risks. They need to provide demonstrable evidence to Ofcom that they have maximised the cyber protection & resilience of their networks and improved their security procedures.

• Overarching security duties: Require ‘ALL’ telecom providers to take suitable & balanced measures to discover and minimise all potential risks of systems being impacted.
• Specific security requirements: Requires ‘ALL’ telecom providers to strengthen specific areas such as #access controls and data #confidentiality, which may be exploited to affect the infrastructure, leading to outages and security hazards.
• Code of practice: This pillar addresses the appropriate timeframe for compliance for different telecommunications providers and establishes metrics and measures to be enforced. It specifies requirements by dividing the telecom providers into tiers.
