Since its inception in February 2021, the CyberScotland Partnership continues to improve the cyber resilience of Scotland’s people, businesses and organisations.
We are delighted to announce that three new organisations will join the CyberScotland Partnership during CyberScotland Week 2025.
The new CyberScotland Partners are:
Scottish Cyber Coordination Centre (SC3)
The Scottish Cyber Coordination Centre (SC3) is the national function to help protect against cyber incidents while promoting adherence to appropriate standards and best practices across critical functions and infrastructure. It supports the delivery of The strategic framework for a cyber resilient Scotland.
The SC3 published its strategic plan 2024 to 2027 in September 2024. Its focus is:
- incident coordination
- threat intelligence

Founded in 2016, the Local Government Digital Office supports Scottish local authorities with their digital transformation journeys.
The LGDO team works closely with local authorities across Scotland to provide leadership, guidance, resources and expertise needed to navigate the complexities of the ever-changing digital landscape.
The Digital Office for Scottish Local Government and Scotland Excel have been working to develop a framework for Security Operations Centre (SOC) services. This initiative aims to enhance the cyber security capabilities of councils across Scotland, providing them with a robust and cost-effective solution to protect their digital assets.
Age Scotland is the Scottish charity for older people. They work to improve the lives of people over the age of 50 and promote their rights and interests.
Their mission is to inspire, involve and empower older people in Scotland, and influence others, so that people in Scotland enjoy better later lives. They involve older people by connecting and engaging with them through networks, enabling them to participate in groups and their communities. Age Scotland provides valuable and accessible information and advice to help older people understand their rights, make informed choices and access appropriate support.
Looking to the future
The CyberScotland Partnership now consists of 21 partners and 2 affiliate organisations who come together to improve cyber resilience across Scotland in a co-ordinated and coherent way.
Cyber resilience requires collective effort, it is not solely the responsibility of government or law enforcement. It is a challenge that demands vigilance, collaboration, and proactive engagement from all people, businesses’ and organisations to protect individuals from the ever-evolving nature of cyber threats.
The CyberScotland Partnership is committed to widening its reach to all in Scotland, providing practical, tailored advice and guidance for every individual and organisation. It will continue its effective campaigns to raise awareness of cyber threats and enhance resilience to build a safer, secure and prosperous Scotland.
