In England, the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities (DLUHC) has worked with councils to adapt CAF for assessing local cyber resilience, identifying vulnerabilities, and protecting critical services. CAF complements existing cybersecurity programmes by promoting whole-organisation engagement, leadership involvement, and risk management across departments.
In Wales, the Welsh Local Government Association (WLGA) and the Welsh Government are supporting CAF rollout through initiatives such as breach workshops, tabletop exercises, staff training videos, and CymruSOC, a centralised SOC providing ongoing cyber monitoring for councils.
