UK launches survey of AI security companies to map the market

The UK has published a privacy notice tied to a short survey of AI security companies, run by DCMS's Cyber Security and Digital Identity Directorate and originally commissioned by DSIT. This segment covers what the notice says, what it does not, and why a data-collection exercise aimed at understanding the AI security market is worth a compliance team's attention.

• DCMS published the privacy notice for its AI security companies survey on 6 October 2026.
• The survey aims to improve understanding of the AI security market and the services these companies provide.
• It is run by the Cyber Security and Digital Identity Directorate, previously part of the former DSIT, which originally commissioned it.
