Businesses can reach the cyber incident helpline by calling 0800 1670 623 weekdays 9am-5pm.

In partnership with Scottish Government and Police Scotland, Cyber and Fraud Centre – Scotland has launched the UK’s first cyber incident response helpline for the SME community and the third sector to help victims of cybercrime understand what support is immediately available to them and help them recover.
