THE UK CYBER SECURITY COUNCIL

The Council is the self-regulatory body for the UK's cyber security profession. It develops, promotes and stewards nationally recognised standards for cyber security and the development of clear and inclusive career paths in support of the UK Government's National Cyber Security Strategy to make the UK the safest place to live and work online.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

Most of the income over the last 3 years has been in the form of Government grants or contracts
Fundraising costs are low relative to funds raised
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

This charity is not recognised by HMRC for Gift Aid according to its latest published return
Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy

Financial issues to consider:

Unrestricted reserves appear to be dangerously low at the latest year end
