Membership
Membership of the APPG for non-Parliamentarians is currently free. The APPG is funded by the following organisations:
Accenture, DLA Piper, Institute for Corporate Resilience, Tysers and the SANS Institute (more information can be found on the APPG Register). The APPG Webmaster is the Information Security Group at Royal Holloway. These form the Steering Committee along with the APPG Officers.
In a sector that is governed by regulations from the UK and internationally, keeping track of what is happening is important to the strategy and long-term health of any organisation involved in the Cyber Security and Business Resilience world. The APPG is an excellent way both to be informed and to inform Parliamentarians and fellow members.
Membership of the group is automatically open to all members of both Houses of Parliament. Members of the wider cyber security community are invited to register with the group and join the mailing list.
Benefits of membership:
- Be part of an APPG that brings together Parliamentarians and the Cyber Security and Business Resilience sector on a regular basis. Contribute intellectually to the understanding of policy and to its formation.
- As a member you can play a direct role in discussions, selecting topics and recommending speakers. Members can also contribute to the newsletters.
- The APPG annual programme provides the only touchpoint for the Cyber Security and Business Resilience sector to liaise with Parliamentarians and keep abreast of the legislative programme that affects the sector.
- APPG meetings and other events give members that opportunity to network in a neutral environment with other industry colleagues, consumer and trade groups as well as Parliamentarians and other key governmental individuals.
How to Join:
We are open to application for membership from any company, not-for-profit organisation or academic body with an interest in Cyber Security and Business Resilience.

By breadth we mean ranging from academic institutions through practitioners and suppliers into the Cyber Security and Business Resilience world and by depth, supplying knowledge about how systems work and how they work for the consumer and businesses in the UK.If you are interested in joining the group, please contact the administrator using details from the Contact page.
