CACI signs the UK Government’s Cyber Resilience Pledge

In this Article

CACI’s President and CEO, Tracy Weir, has signed the UK Government’s Cyber Resilience Pledge, committing CACI to concrete action across Board accountability, threat intelligence and supply-chain security. 

Cyber resilience affects whether organisations can continue serving customers, protect critical services, introduce new technologies and grow with confidence. which is why CACI has signed the UK Government’s Cyber Resilience Pledge

Signed on the 24th July 2026, the pledge turns support for stronger cyber security into a series of practical, time-bound commitments. These include making cyber risk a Board-level responsibility, strengthening early threat awareness and improving security assurance throughout the supply chain. 

It also commits CACI to publishing an annual update on the steps taken to deliver against the pledge. 

“Cyber resilience is built through action, accountability and collaboration. By signing this pledge, we are making a public commitment to continually strengthen how we govern cyber risk, protect our organisation and work with our suppliers. 

Our customers depend on technology and data to deliver critical services, transform experiences and grow. They need partners that treat resilience not as a technical afterthought, but as a fundamental part of responsible business. This pledge reinforces that commitment.” 

Tracy Weir, CEO, CACI Ltd 

From cyber awareness to accountable action

More than 90% of company boards recognise cyber security as a critical priority, however, recognising the risk is not the same as being ready to respond. 

The Government’s pledge is intended to help close that gap by translating Board-level attention into measurable action. 

It was formally launched at 10 Downing Street on 7th July 2026 and brings government and industry together around three commitments designed to strengthen the UK’s collective cyber resilience. 

1. Make cyber security a Board responsibility 

Cyber risk is business risk. It can affect operational continuity, customer trust, financial performance, regulatory compliance and an organisation’s ability to innovate. 

CACI has committed to implementing the actions within the Government’s Cyber Governance Code of Practice and ensuring that every Board member completes the NCSC’s Cyber Governance Training within three months, followed by annual refresher training. 

This helps keep cyber resilience connected to strategic decision-making rather than confined to technical teams. 

2. Strengthen early awareness of cyber threats 

The earlier an organisation becomes aware of malicious activity, the sooner it can investigate and respond. 

CACI has committed to registering for the National Cyber Security Centre’s Early Warning service within one month of signing the pledge. 

The service provides organisations with notifications about potential cyber-attacks affecting their networks, helping security teams identify and address suspicious activity before it develops into a more serious incident. 

3. Extend resilience across the supply chain 

An organisation’s resilience is increasingly connected to that of its suppliers and partners. 

According to the Government’s ministerial letter, only 14% of UK businesses assess the cyber risks presented by their immediate suppliers. That creates potential vulnerabilities which cannot be addressed by securing one organisation in isolation. 

CACI has therefore committed to: 

  • Registering for the Cyber Essentials Supplier Check Tool within two months  
  • Conducting a comprehensive audit of Cyber Essentials coverage across its supply chain  
  • Presenting and discussing that coverage with the Board through regular governance reporting  
  • Applying a risk-based approach to Cyber Essentials certification across suppliers  
  • Encouraging suppliers to strengthen cyber resilience within their own supply chains  

The Government reports that organisations with Cyber Essentials are 92% less likely to make a claim on their cyber insurance. The scheme provides a recognised foundation for protecting organisations against common cyber-attacks. 

Why this matters to CACI’s customers 

Customers do not experience cyber security as a policy, framework or compliance exercise. They experience it through the reliability of the services they use, the protection of their information and the ability of their partners to respond when something goes wrong. 

The pledge strengthens the principles that should underpin every trusted technology partnership: 

  • Accountability: Cyber risk receives appropriate attention and ownership at Board level.  
  • Preparedness: Emerging threats are identified and addressed as early as possible.  
  • Continuity: Resilience is considered alongside the services and operations organisations depend upon.  
  • Supply-chain assurance: Cyber risk is assessed beyond the boundaries of a single organisation.  
  • Transparency: Progress is reported publicly rather than kept behind closed doors.  

For organisations undertaking cloud transformation, modernising critical infrastructure, adopting AI or introducing new digital services, these principles are particularly important. Innovation can only create lasting value when it is built on secure and resilient foundations. 

Resilience should enable progress, not prevent it 

Cyber security can be perceived as a barrier to transformation. However, when executed well it provides the confidence required to transform faster. 

Strong governance helps organisations understand which risks they can accept, which controls they need and how they will continue operating if an incident occurs. It enables leaders to pursue innovation with greater clarity, rather than allowing unidentified risks to slow decisions or emerge later in delivery. 

For CACI, signing the Cyber Resilience Pledge is therefore not only about protection,it is about creating the trust, stability and preparedness that allow our people, customers and partners to make bold moves with confidence. 

A public commitment to continuous improvement 

The pledge is voluntary, but CACI’s commitments are specific and measurable. 

Alongside implementing its three central actions, CACI will publish the signed declaration on its website and provide a public update each year explaining the progress made. 

Transparency matters and cyber resilience is never a finished project or a single certification. It requires continual learning, testing, governance and collaboration as technologies, organisations and threats evolve. 

By signing the pledge, CACI is committing not only to strengthen its own resilience, but also to contribute to a safer and more resilient UK digital economy.
