About our practice 

Cyber resilience is one of the defining topics of our age, and cyber risk represents one of the most significant strategic risks to PwC’s clients.  In a recent PwC survey, it remains the top risk in the minds of CEO’s globally, with 91% of UK CEOs rating it as a significant concern.   Businesses are changing rapidly, facing disrupted supply chains, rapidly changing workforces and accelerating digital transformation on an unprecedented scale. 

At PwC we help our clients transform, and our cyber resilience practice enables them to execute that transformation securely and to become more resilient to cyber security threats.  Our cyber resilience practice operates nationally, and serves clients holistically with strategy, risk and governance advice, and with deep technical implementation and assurance expertise.
