The one-year contract, with the option to extend for an additional year, will see Mastek and its partner Templar Executives, deliver tailored cybersecurity training specifically designed for NHS executive Boards and SIROs. The training will focus on equipping these critical leaders with the knowledge and skills needed to effectively manage cyber risks, ensure compliance with legislation, and foster a culture of cyber resilience within their organisations.
As part of the contract, Mastek and Templar Executives will provide two key training services:
- SIRO Training: This programme is aimed at the crucial roles of SIRO and Deputy SIRO within NHS organisations. It will help these leaders and their teams gain essential knowledge to improve cyber resilience and support positive clinical, financial, and patient-centred outcomes.
- Board Training: Targeted at NHS executive Boards, this training will ensure Board members fully understand their responsibilities in governance, leadership, and compliance with relevant cybersecurity legislation.
Abhishek Singh, President of UKI & Europe at Mastek, commented, “We are happy to expand our support into NHS England in building stronger cybersecurity leadership across the NHS. As healthcare systems continue to become more digital, effective cyber governance at the Board level is essential to safeguarding patient data and ensuring the resilience of critical services.”
Rekha Babber, MD Cyber Academy, Templar Executives, commented, “We are delighted to be partnering with Mastek to deliver training assured by the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC). With the growing integration of healthcare services, our tailored approach and experience encourages Boards and executives to take accountability for cyber and information risk, alongside clinical and financial risk, to deliver quality patient care.”
The partnership with NHS England reflects Mastek’s continued commitment to supporting the public sector in building cyber resilience, ensuring that essential services remain secure in an increasingly digital world.
