Address government cyber security initiatives

Netskope One addresses the core pillars of the UK Government Roadmap for Modern Digital Government 2030 by allowing the UK public sector to escape legacy technology debt and embrace cloud, SaaS, web, and AI securely, with full peace of mind on data sovereignty and protection:

Delivering cyber resilience chevron
Securing the lifecycle of services and data chevron
Supporting a proactive security mindset chevron
Continuously adapting to risk chevron
Delivering cyber resilience chevron

Netskope provides resilience against cyber threats and digital disruption, through consolidated threat protection, data security, and network controls; powered by full compute data centres in multiple UK cities.

Securing the lifecycle of services and data chevron

Netskope’s architecture incorporates security from the ground up, aligning with the secure-by-design approach. Seamlessly integrating with existing systems, enforcing security policies and practices throughout the lifecycle of services and data. Using our own NewEdge Network to directly control the performance and reliability that public sector users and citizens experience.

Supporting a proactive security mindset chevron

Netskope offers comprehensive visibility and control over users, devices, and applications, enabling the enforcement of security policies and cultivation of a security-conscious culture. This proactive cybersecurity approach, supported by innovative solutions including real-time coaching features, empowers government departments and public service providers to monitor, analyse, and guide user behaviours, fostering secure practices and enhancing overall security resilience.

Continuously adapting to risk chevron

The Netskope Zero Trust Engine continually gathers and monitors risk telemetry associated with users, location, data, devices, applications and instances, activity and behaviour. This process establishes a ‘continuous adaptive trust’ model, providing government functions—from the delivery of public services to the operation of National Security apparatus—with exceptional contextual awareness.

Empowered by the breadth and depth of contextual insights, highly precise and granular policy decisions can be made that dynamically adjust to the changing risk landscape. Continuous adaptive trust signifies a shift away from the traditional binary approach of block or allow in policy enforcement, offering a more sophisticated and nuanced execution of zero trust.

Enable a modern public sector workforce

The public sector’s hybrid nature requires the reimagined security architecture of Netskope’s data-centric security.
 
Maximize user productivity and enable real-time collaboration across your hybrid workforce with direct and secure access to web, cloud AI and private applications; from any location and any device.
 
Eliminate performance inefficiencies that hinder traditional network security solutions, or lead to teams bypass security controls altogether, with Netskope’s low latency integrated single-pass security architecture and the NewEdge Network, the world’s most performant private cloud infrastructure.
 
For private applications, Netskope One Private Access is a modern way to secure access to the network using a cloud-first, software-based approach to replace the hardware of legacy VPNs.

Modern Workforce

Maintain security standards and frameworks

Government departments and public sector services undergoing digital transformation must adhere to established security standards. Netskope supports this with the defence-in-depth approach necessary for essential cyber hygiene practices, including zero trust principles, software updates, device configuration, network segmentation, identity and access management, and user awareness.

Our compliance guides detail how Netskope addresses various elements across organisational levels and throughout the supply chain.

How does Netskope One align with the UK Roadmap for Modern Digital Government 2030? link link

The UK Government Roadmap requires departments to actively dismantle legacy tech debt, harness AI for public good, and dramatically strengthen cyber resilience. Netskope One fulfills these pillars by replacing fragmented on-premises boxes with a unified SASE architecture. Its Zero Trust Engine continuously monitors data risk, providing a secure foundation for agencies to migrate services to the cloud and launch digital citizen portals with complete peace of mind.

How does Netskope guarantee absolute data sovereignty for UK public sector data? link link

Data protection and residency laws are strictly enforced within UK borders. Netskope operates dedicated, native UK NewEdge data planes located in London and Manchester. This architecture allows agencies to enforce sovereign-only routing, ensuring that sensitive data, user traffic, and log telemetry are processed entirely within UK jurisdiction and never transit international networks.

How can UK government departments and NHS trusts safely adopt Generative AI tools? link link

While public servants use tools like Copilot or Claude to accelerate administrative tasks, pasting citizen records or NHS patient-identifiable information (PII) into public models is a massive breach of privacy. Netskope One AI Security acts as an inline governance layer, enforcing real-time AI Guardrails. It automatically intercepts and blocks sensitive government datasets from being uploaded into public training models, while allowing staff to use AI productively within safe corporate boundaries.

How is Netskope procured, and does it hold Cyber Essentials Plus certification? link link

To accommodate rigid public sector procurement timelines, Netskope is actively listed on the G-Cloud framework (Crown Commercial Service), completely eliminating the need for complex, bespoke tendering processes. Furthermore, Netskope holds an active Cyber Essentials Plus certification and is fully audited against ISO/IEC 27001:2022 standards, satisfying the rigorous security baselines mandatory for UK government suppliers.

How does Netskope help the NHS secure its ongoing digital transformation? link link

The NHS relies heavily on fast, secure access to central networks from remote clinics and hybrid environments. Netskope replaces clunky, slow legacy VPNs with Netskope Universal ZTNA, providing clinicians with single-digit millisecond latency to critical EMR applications. For physical security on hospital floors, it features agentless Device Intelligence to automatically map, classify, and isolate connected Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) hardware—like infusion pumps or imaging scanners—preventing them from becoming entry points for ransomware.
