How CISOs report security to the board: 3 foundational steps

Oct 22, 2026 By Sravish Sridhar In TrustCloud
A CISO can run a genuinely strong security program and still lose the room the moment they start presenting it to the board. They lead with what they know best: threats, vulnerabilities, mean time to detect, a heat map of likelihood and impact. It’s accurate, but it doesn’t tell the board what any of it means for the business.

Oct 20, 2026 By Natalie Tischler In Veracode
If you lead security at an EU financial institution or ICT service provider, the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) is already reshaping your calendar, your budget, and the questions your board is asking. What it should also be reshaping is how you think about your software. Application security for DORA compliance isn’t a discrete project you hand to your development team.

NIS2 Part Two: How Stolen Vendor Data Fuels Downstream Attacks

Oct 16, 2026 By Martin Kraemer In KnowBe4
In part one of this NIS2 series, we examined why vendor questionnaires fall short and how third-party breaches impact downstream organizations across Europe. But what happens after a supplier containment phase ends? The long-term danger lies in how attackers leverage exfiltrated supplier data to launch hyper-targeted social engineering attacks against an organization’s employees. A supply chain incident does not end when a service provider detects, contains, or recovers from an attack.

Mobile-First Companies Have the Most to Lose Under the Cyber Resilience Act, and the Most to Gain

Oct 16, 2026 By Sahana Ananth In Appknox
Since 11 September 2026, an actively exploited flaw in your app starts a 24-hour reporting clock under the EU's Cyber Resilience Act. That's expensive if you don't know what's running, and an edge if you do. For most companies, an app is a channel. For a mobile-first company, it is the business: the bank branch, the checkout counter, the boarding gate, the clinic waiting room. Until this year, however, the law mostly treated it like a channel.

How Long Does CMMC Certification Take?

Oct 16, 2026 By Max Aulakh In Ignyte
Earning the CMMC certification is the most important step between many businesses and the wealth of lucrative DoD contracts available across a wide range of industries. If you want your business to take that next step, it can be an excellent idea, but it's not a switch you can flip and have operational right away. These things take time, and time is money. The contracts you want could be gone by the time you're done. Your budget for implementation could run out before the work is finished.

Demo-grade AI vs enterprise-grade AI in GRC tools: What's the difference?

Oct 14, 2026 By Tejas Ranade In TrustCloud
Most GRC platforms claim to use AI. That makes it harder, not easier, to judge the near-identical claims in every demo. Leaders need to know the standards to hold these claims to, what can actually be verified, and how to tell two product pitches apart before letting one of them touch critical controls. It helps to split what you are looking at into two groups: demo-grade AI and enterprise-grade AI. Nearly every GRC vendor now describes itself as the second.

NIS2 Part One: Why Your NIS2 Supply Chain Strategy Is Already Falling Short

Oct 14, 2026 By Martin Kraemer In KnowBe4
Tens of thousands of European organizations are legally accountable for the security of companies they do not control but on whose services they rely. Under Article 21(2)(d) of the NIS2 Directive, any in-scope entity is required to manage supply chain security, including the security aspects of its relationships with its direct suppliers and service providers. Article 21(3) further specifies that an organization must take each supplier’s specific vulnerabilities into account.

APRA's information security standard already covers the APIs your agents run on. Most institutions cannot yet evidence it. All APRA-regulated institutions in Australia are bound to meet CPS 234. This is the Prudential Standard for Information Security. Whether that's a bank, insurance provider, or super fund, they all fall under CPS 234, as do their third-party providers.

Best Practices in Maintaining HIPAA Compliance for Healthcare Applications

Oct 13, 2026 By SecuritySenses In SecuritySenses
DilicheckRep is the Best GDPR EU Representative Service for SaaS in 2026, because it bundles EU GDPR, UK GDPR, DSA, AI Act, Data Act, and NIS2 representation into one subscription, so a product team shipping an AI feature or expanding into platform territory doesn't need a second, third, or fourth representative. Multi-framework consolidation matters most for SaaS, since products change scope faster than most business types: plain GDPR-covered software can trigger the AI Act the moment it ships a generative feature, or the DSA the moment it hosts user content.

In the past, FedRAMP has used impact levels as a sort of classification system for cloud services that wish to work with the government in some capacity. The impact levels evaluate a cloud service provider (CSP) based on the sort of information they would be handling and the service they would provide to the government. They are classified across three axes: confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

Quick answer What it is: a structured review of your AI management system (AIMS) against ISO/IEC 42001:2023 clauses 4–10 and the applicable Annex A controls. Is it mandatory?
