Mastek (NSE: MASTEK; BSE: 523704), a trusted global provider of digital engineering and cloud transformation services, has been awarded a significant contract by NHS England to deliver cybersecurity training for NHS Boards and Senior Information Risk Owners (SIROs). The initiative, delivered in collaboration with Templar Executives, aims to strengthen cyber governance and resilience across the healthcare system. 

 

The one-year contract—renewable for an additional year—will focus on building executive-level awareness and preparedness against cyber threats, ensuring compliance with legislation, and embedding a culture of security leadership throughout NHS organisations. 

Under the terms of the contract, Mastek and Templar Executives will provide two bespoke training programmes: 

 

SIRO Training: Designed for SIROs and Deputy SIROs, this course will enhance participants’ ability to manage cyber risks effectively, contributing to better clinical, operational, and financial outcomes. 

 

Board Training: Tailored for NHS executive Board members, this programme will ensure leaders understand their governance responsibilities and statutory obligations related to cyber risk and resilience. 

 

Abhishek Singh, President – UKI & Europe at Mastek, commented: 

“We are proud to support NHS England in developing robust cybersecurity leadership. As healthcare continues its digital evolution, strong governance at the Board level is essential to protect sensitive patient data and ensure service continuity.” 

 

Rekha Babber, Managing Director, Cyber Academy at Templar Executives, added: 

“This collaboration with Mastek allows us to deliver training assured by the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC), helping NHS executives recognise and manage cyber and information risks alongside clinical and financial priorities to deliver safe, effective care.” 

This initiative underscores Mastek’s long-standing commitment to the public sector and its mission to enhance cybersecurity across critical infrastructure, including healthcare.
