Cambridge context

Why Cambridge cyber programmes have their own profile

Cambridge concentrates a unique combination — world-leading research + life-sciences validated environments + tech-giant satellite operations + NHS teaching hospital — each with regulatory load that doesn't look like generic mid-market cyber.

GxP / MHRA-aware cyber for AstraZeneca-supplier

For AstraZeneca-supplier and Cambridge life-sciences customers, cyber controls land against GxP / GMP-aware controls for validated environments, MHRA-aligned change processes, clinical-trial-data protection.

SOC 2 + ISO 27001 for Arm + Microsoft Research-class

For Arm Holdings + Microsoft Research + Silicon Fen tech customers serving regulated US / EU customers, cyber programmes land against SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, customer-specific regulatory regimes.

Research-data classification for Cambridge University

For Cambridge University departments + colleges, cyber programmes address research-data classification, funded-project IP protection, JANET edge security, plus the specific dual-use research export-control regimes.

NHS CP ICB + DSP Toolkit

For CUH (Addenbrooke's), CPFT, NWAFT trust-affiliated organisations, cyber work lands against DSP Toolkit, HSCN-aligned segmentation, NIS Regulations 2018.
