techUK is convening regular industry collab sessions for providers undertaking compliance activity for the Telecoms Security Act. These online sessions will take place monthly and are open to all PECN/PECS providers (all Tiers) to come together in an open, transparent, and collaborative way.
Have challenges you would like some insight on? Triumphs to share with peers? Knowledge to pass on?
The online sessions will be conducted under TLP:AMBER and will be chaired by Sophie James, Head of Telecoms and Spectrum Policy at techUK. The sessions are open to all – you do not have to be a techUK member to participate.
What is the Telecoms Security Act?
The Telecoms Security Act 2021 (TSA) came into force on 1 October 2022, and is made up of three 'layers'. The first layer strengthens the security duties of public telecoms providers by amending the Electronic Communications Act 2003.The Act also gives the government new powers to designate High Risk Vendors and issue directives imposing controls on the use of their goods, services and facilities by public communications providers. The second layer includes the Electronic Communications (Security Measures) Regulations 2022 which public communication providers must follow. The final layer contains technical guidance in a new Code of Practice underpinning the Act.
techUK played a key role in shaping the act on behalf of its members. For more information, please get in touch with our team below.
The next session will take place on 27 July.
