The Central Digital and Data Office is an agency[a] under the United Kingdom's Department for Science, Innovation and Technology which is responsible for coordinating digital, data, and technological programmes across the government, and setting standards in those areas.[1] It was established in January 2021 under the Cabinet Office,[2] and was moved to the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology by the incoming Labour government in 2024.[3] The CDDO shares an office with the Government Digital Service in London, and both organisations are guided by the Digital Advisory Board.
