UK FCA clarifies how listed firms can share cyber incident information

Original title:From industry concern to practical action: the value of working with regulators

What happened

The UK NCSC and FCA explain that FCA guidance says listed firms may share cyber incident information with the NCSC and trusted communities while meeting Market Abuse Regulation duties. It aims to remove hesitation over sharing, but it is UK-specific and mostly irrelevant to small Japanese operators.

Who is affected

  • Staff at UK-listed firms handling cyber incidents
  • Mainly large firms tied to UK markets

What to do

If you work at or with a UK-listed company, review the FCA guidance with legal counsel and update your incident information-sharing rules. Others need no action.
