Britain's data protection watchdog has acquired a new legal identity and governance structure, although the familiar ICO initials are staying put. On September 30, the Information Commission replaced the Information Commissioner as the statutory regulator. The organization itself will be known as the Information Commission's Office and will continue using the ICO name. The change is more than a bureaucratic rebrand. The former regulator was a "corporation sole," meaning its statutory powers and responsibilities were vested in one person: the Information Commissioner. Those functions have now transferred to a corporate body overseen by executive and non-executive board members. The new structure was created by the Data (Use and Access) Act 2025, which received Royal Assent in June 2025. The government says it will modernize the watchdog's governance without changing its existing regulatory functions. The transition follows an awkward final few months under the old structure. Information Commissioner John Edwards resigned in June after an independent workplace investigation into his conduct, admitting that his position had become "untenable" and that attempts at humor had been "inappropriate and caused offense." Edwards had stepped back from his duties in April, and the ICO removed his remaining responsibilities after the investigation concluded there was "a case to answer." Paul Arnold, who assumed Edwards' statutory responsibilities before his resignation, is serving as interim chief executive of the Information Commission. Seven non-executive members have joined the new board. They appointed Maggie Carver deputy chair, and she will perform the chair's duties while the government searches for somebody to fill the job permanently. That recruitment process isn't expected to wrap up until spring 2027. The regulator has also packed its boxes and moved its headquarters from Wilmslow to Oxford Road in Manchester, which it says will give it access to a "diverse talent pool" and strengthen links with businesses and communities across the UK. For anyone dealing with the watchdog, little should change day to day. The Information Commission retains responsibility for data protection and freedom of information regulation, along with the ICO's existing powers, guidance, and public services. A new corporate strategy is also on the way, with AI, cyber resilience, children's privacy, and public services among the areas singled out for attention. Anyone attached to the old initials can relax: despite the legal and governance overhaul, even the Information Commission's Office intends to keep calling itself the ICO. ®

The proportion of workers in the UK cybersecurity industry identifying as women has dropped to 16 percent, the lowest level since 2021. Gender diversity has long been an issue pervading the STEM fields, although in cybersecurity this is especially pronounced, both at senior leadership and education levels. This is despite evidence that girls regularly outperform boys in STEM subjects at UK schools when they do participate. Not only are there still fewer women students in cybersecurity courses than those opting for computer science, but the percentage of women in the senior workforce (6+ years of experience) drops further to 12 percent – a figure that has remained broadly consistent since records began. For context, the UK average across all industries for female-identifying workers is 48 percent. Across the digital workforce, as of last year’s data, the average is 30 percent. The UK government interviewed various stakeholders in the cyber industry, finding that the barriers to senior leadership positions were structural – employers are purposely excluding women at higher levels. History plays a part too – older heads remaining in their positions from back when gender diversity was a matter less discussed – but recruiters say employers are still holding women back based on their perceived family ambitions. One recruitment agent was quoted in the report as saying: “When I’ve spoken to a business and said to them ‘why don’t you hire a more diverse workforce?’ You’ll get the normal common ones of ‘well if we hire a female, she’ll get pregnant, she’ll be off for 12 months,’ which isn’t right.” Refusing to hire women based on assumptions or fears about future pregnancy is a form of illegal gender discrimination that directly violates the UK's Equality Act 2010. Other common barriers to senior positions include assumptions they did not have the requisite technical skills for the role, and that cybersecurity is still seen as “an old boys’ club.” “This tied into a broader finding that stereotypes about women not being interested in cybersecurity continued to persist,” the report noted. “A cybersecurity firm noted that during a career talk on cybersecurity, a group of girls walked out of the talk, and the careers teacher reinforced the perception that the sector did not appeal to women.” The business told the government: “I went to the careers lady ‘What was the story with the five girls that left?’ And she went ‘Oh, cyber security is not really a girl’s job’.” Jill Broom, head of cyber resilience at techUK, said the onus is on employers to work harder on breaking down the lingering stereotypes about women in cybersecurity. “Cybersecurity underpins our growth, our economy and the safety of our society, with the sector offering growing employment opportunities and career prospects,” she told The Register. “However, the underrepresentation of women in this industry remains a significant concern. “A lack of gender diversity not only limits opportunities for women to benefit from this growing sector but also risks narrowing the range of perspectives and ideas that are essential to tackling increasingly complex cyber threats. Educators and employers must work together to challenge stereotypes, break down barriers and promote cybersecurity as an accessible and inclusive career path.” Representation for other groups fared comparatively better. This past year set a new record for neurodivergent workers in the cybersecurity industry, with 22 percent of UK staff identifying as neurodivergent. The figure represents a sharp increase from 16 percent the year before, one that has grown each year consistently since the 9 percent reported in 2020, and exceeds the digital sector average of 19 percent. “Cybersecurity is the most neurodiverse sector I have ever seen, and I think personally it’s celebrated, especially internally within the sector,” one respondent from a small cybersecurity business told the report's authors. While this year’s results may prove especially welcome to the neurodiverse crowd, the report noted this may reflect the rising awareness of neurodiversity among employers, rather than a true increase in numbers. The representation of ethnic minorities also remained at 19 percent, the same proportion as in 2025’s data, although this was a modest rise from 2024, in which 13 percent were from ethnic minorities. The figure is aligned with the digital sector average of 20 percent, and exceeds the UK’s pan-industry average of 16 percent. However, the representation of these groups suffers at the senior levels. The proportion of ethnic minorities in senior positions stands at 9 percent, a low figure that has persisted for the third year running, and one that is considerably down from the 15 percent high of 2021. As for explanations, the report offered few. “Ethnicity was hardly mentioned and was not generally felt to be an issue, despite the quantitative findings suggesting ethnic diversity at senior levels has remained lower than in the 2021 to 2023 studies,” it stated. “Most commonly, participants did not offer any concrete suggestions for enabling the progression of staff from diverse backgrounds into senior cybersecurity positions. Some employers stated that career development was open to everyone and was based on merit.” For neurodivergent security pros, it was not their technical abilities holding them back, but some said a lack of soft skills may hinder them in senior-role scenarios. “They’re more than capable of doing a leadership role,” said one small cybersecurity business. “It’s just they might not be soft-skilled enough to deal with difficult teams, difficult conversations. But to be honest, I’ve seen some fantastic people who are neurodiverse in leadership roles.” Disabled people are continuously absent from the workforce too, occupying just 9 percent of UK roles and 5 percent of senior positions. This is both less than the digital sector average of 15 percent, and significantly less than the UK’s pan-industry average of 18 percent. ®
