So you’ve got a groundbreaking product that has outstanding market fit. Your prospects love it and are raring to buy. Amazing. But before they can hit approve on the order, they need to make sure you’re SOC 2 or ISO 27001 compliant because their compliance officer won’t let them work with any vendor that hasn’t passed their audit. This is the joy of selling to regulated customers — which today, let’s be honest, is almost everyone.

If you have a consent banner, a Do Not Sell link, and a preferences database logging every opt-out, you’re CCPA compliant, right? Not really. In July 2025, Healthline Media settled with the California Attorney General for $1.55 million. That’s one of the largest CCPA fines to date. They had opt-out forms. They had GPC support. They had a preference database. Yet, after users exercised all three, investigators found that 118 cookies were still active and 82 tracking tags were still operating.

Cybersecurity requirements for companies in the defense supply chain have entered a decisive enforcement phase. The Department of Defense has moved beyond self-attestation and toward verifiable, contract-bound cybersecurity standards. The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC), now plays a central role in determining which organizations are eligible to work with the DoD. CMMC establishes three compliance levels, each tied directly to the sensitivity of the data an organization handles.

Across Europe and beyond, regulatory frameworks are reshaping how and where organizations manage data. These laws establish enforceable standards for data sovereignty, data governance, and data privacy that directly influence cloud architecture, security strategy, and AI innovation. Without these regulations, you run the risk of these organizational consequences: Data management shouldn’t be considered as only a task for IT. It’s a board-level priority.

Wiz recently published its first Wiz Integration Network (WIN) Partner Index 2025, which looks at which tools and vendors Wiz users are connecting with most. We were honored to show up on this list—not once—but four different times. ‍ The WIN Partner Index is built from actual customer adoption and usage, offering a practical view into which integrations deliver the most meaningful impact as security teams grow.

Vanta is the Agentic Trust Platform—built to help companies earn trust and prove it, continuously. ‍ Every company’s trust journey starts with two connected goals: earning and proving that trust. You earn trust by demonstrating a strong security foundation to customers, partners, auditors, and your board. You prove trust by continuously strengthening that foundation—managing risk, monitoring threats, and acting on real-world feedback.

Conversations about GA4 in healthcare tend to stay strangely shallow, circling the same procurement question: “Is there a BAA?” It’s as if GA4 creates risk at the contract layer, when the truth is that the risk is born earlier and lower, in the collection layer, where ordinary telemetry becomes sensitive the moment it is attached to health context and allowed to leave your site.

When we talk about HIPAA compliance for dental offices, we’re not talking about theory or paperwork. We’re talking about patient privacy, regulatory exposure, and whether a practice can keep operating when something goes wrong. HIPAA is no longer a “back-office” concern—it’s a core part of running a modern dental practice.
