The Central Digital and Data Office is an agency 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. It was established in January 2021 under the Cabinet Office, and was moved to the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology by the incoming Labour government in 2024. The CDDO shares an office with the Government Digital Service in London, and both organisations are guided by the Digital Advisory Board.
