Who we are

Cyber and Fraud Centre Scotland is a not-for-profit organisation and a respected voice in business resilience, bringing together the Scottish Government and the Scottish business community. Our purpose is to support organisations on their path to better resilience by being the catalyst that makes Scotland one of the safest and most resilient places to live, work, and do business, both on and offline, especially during these times of economic recovery.

It is our intention that every Scottish organisation have the skills and knowledge to protect themselves against online attacks. We achieve this through the delivery of education and preventative training, as well as actively raising awareness of threats throughout the business community.

We are a high-performing team with a focus on genuine care and respect for one another with our values: focus, agility and accountability being at the centre of how we work.
