NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0
A free framework, voluntary for most organisations, for governing, identifying and reducing cyber risk. Version 2.0 (February 2024) added a sixth function, Govern.
BeverageCyber Resilience Hub
Uniting beverage manufacturers, bottlers, distributors and security leaders around practical cyber resilience.
Hub overview
Collective resilience for a connected sector.
Beverage operations combine high-speed production, recipe systems, connected packaging and broad distribution networks. The hub protects availability, quality and brand trust.
What we do in the hub
Threat briefings
Timely, food-sector context on emerging threats and defensive priorities.
Expert roundtables
Small, trusted conversations between operators, practitioners and partners.
Resilience exercises
Scenario-led sessions for testing decisions before a real incident.
Working groups
Focused collaboration on common controls, dependencies and good practice.
Executive exchanges
Peer discussions designed for boards and operational leadership.
Research & playbooks
Useful outputs shaped by the people responsible for food operations.
The operational reality
Why Beverage needs cyber resilience
Digital systems now sit inside the processes that keep products safe, production moving and customers supplied.
Packaging-line disruption
Attacks on industrial control systems can halt high-volume filling and packaging.
Recipe and IP theft
Sensitive formulations and production parameters require controlled access and monitoring.
Distributor compromise
Integrated ordering and logistics platforms extend risk beyond the plant boundary.
Sector cyber compliance
From requirements to operational confidence.
The frameworks organisations build on, and the rules worth knowing where they operate.
Frameworks for every hub
Global Global ISO/IEC 27001
The international standard for an information security management system. Organisations can be certified against it by an accredited certification body.
Global ISA/IEC 62443
A series of standards for securing industrial automation and control systems — the operational technology that runs plants, farms and warehouses.
Why it matters
Helps secure connected production equipment without compromising availability.

Rules to know, by region
European Union NIS2 Directive
The EU's cybersecurity directive, applied through each country's own law, covers food businesses engaged in wholesale distribution and industrial production and processing — generally medium-sized and large ones.
Why it matters
Beverage producers in scope must manage cyber risk across their suppliers and distributors and report a significant incident within strict deadlines.
Read moreUnited States SEC cybersecurity disclosure rules
US public companies that report to the SEC must disclose a cybersecurity incident they determine is material on Form 8-K, generally within four business days of that determination.
Why it matters
For a listed beverage company, a bottling-line outage can become a disclosure decision within days.
Read moreUnited Kingdom Cyber Essentials
A UK government-backed certification, overseen by the NCSC, covering five basic technical controls. Some central government and NHS contracts require it.
Why it matters
A practical baseline for UK producers and their suppliers — and some public-sector contracts require it.

A starting point, not legal advice — which rules apply depends on where and how your organisation operates.
