Digital ID Consultation

Consultation description

Why we’re consulting

The government intends to introduce a national digital ID (identity document) system. This will sit at the heart of next-generation digital public services in the UK and support innovation in the wider economy. It will help unlock entirely new ways to offer goods and services, and be key to making people’s interactions with the state as efficient and useful as those they are accustomed to in the private sector, like online banking.

Closing date 5. May 2026 12:30pm

Surveys

Cyber Security Breaches

The Cyber Security Breaches Survey is a research study on UK cyber resilience. It is primarily used to inform government policy on cyber security, making the UK cyberspace a secure place to do business. The study explores the policies, processes and approach to cyber security, for businesses, charities and educational institutions. It also considers the different cyber attacks and cyber crimes these organisations face, as well as how these organisations are impacted and respond.

For this latest release, the quantitative survey and qualitative interviews were carried out between August and December 2025.
