About IDR
An industry-led institute bridging academic insight and real-world practice.
Who We Are
The Institute of Digital Risk (IDR) is an industry-led training and deployment institute for digital, cyber, and technology risk roles. We operate at the intersection of academia and industry, partnering with leading UK universities to deliver programmes that combine rigorous theoretical grounding with hands-on project experience.
Our focus is on regulated, high-consequence environments — financial services, critical national infrastructure, healthcare, and government — where getting digital risk right is not optional. We train practitioners who are ready to deploy from day one, closing the skills gap that holds organisations back.
