Cyber Adversary Simulation (CyAS): scheme documents now available ↗ source

September 17, 2026 NCSC Guidance

Summary

Cyber adversary simulation is one of the most effective ways for organisations to understand how they would fare against a capable cyber attacker. Yet, the quality of services available across the market can vary significantly. To help buyers understand what 'good' looks like, we have published new NCSC guidance based on our experience delivering and overseeing adversary simulation engagements. Alongside this, as the launch of our new assured Cyber Adversary Simulation (CyAS) scheme draws nearer, we’ve also published the first set of scheme documents. These explain what we expect of companies wanting to become NCSCassured providers.
