Strategic Overview

The UK is Direct Intelligence's primary market and institutional home. The 2026 Cyber Resilience and Infrastructure Protection Bill represents the most consequential piece of CNI legislation since the NIS Regulations 2018. Every organisation supplying CNI operators must demonstrate governance credibility before procurement committees will engage. The window to build that credibility is now - before the Bill receives Royal Assent and compliance becomes mandatory rather than competitive.
