Most organisations now run at least one LLM in production, and a growing number run agents that call tools and act without a human in the loop. The security testing those systems receive was designed for deterministic software. AI applications fail differently. The payload is natural language, the same input can be safe nine times and unsafe on the tenth, and the malicious instruction often arrives inside a document or tool description rather than from the user.

The EU Cyber Resilience Act makes cybersecurity a condition of market access. A product with digital elements sold in the EU must demonstrate security by design, secure defaults and working vulnerability management — or it does not get a CE mark. This Cyber Resilience Act compliance checklist turns Regulation (EU) 2024/2847 into 15 steps, in execution order.

For fintech companies that move money, store account data, or connect to banking rails, trust must be documented. It cannot just be promised. A SOC 2 Type 2 report is the primary way financial platforms prove their security controls actually work. Demonstrating real fintech security and compliance unlocks enterprise partnerships, closes larger deals, and satisfies vendor security reviews. Banks and payment networks require these reviews before they integrate with you. Free Consultation.

TISAX and ISO 27001 are related but not interchangeable. ISO 27001 is a general-purpose information security certification accepted across any industry; TISAX is the automotive industry’s mandatory, shared assessment framework, built on ISO 27001’s structure but adding prototype protection and data protection requirements that OEMs specifically demand. Most automotive suppliers need TISAX, and an existing ISO 27001 program is the fastest route to get there.

Most compliance teams have filed the EU Cyber Resilience Act under “2027” — the date the regulation becomes fully applicable. That’s the wrong filing date. From 11 September 2026, manufacturers must already report actively exploited vulnerabilities and severe incidents affecting products with digital elements, more than a year before the rest of the regulation takes effect.

This is for compliance and security leaders who already know the EU AI Act applies to them and need a concrete control set for where the law actually stands today — not a summary written before the rules changed. Awareness is done; 2026 is the year of implementation, and the rules just moved. On 29 June 2026 the Council of the EU gave its final green light to the Digital Omnibus on AI — the package that resets several of the dates compliance teams have been building toward.

ISO 42001 certification usually takes four to twelve months. This runs from the gap assessment to the certificate. For a 50 to 200-person organization, first-year costs are about $85,000 to $150,000. Businesses with an existing ISO 27001 system can often certify in three to four months. This guide is for compliance and AI leaders planning an ISO 42001 project. It gives a realistic timeline and budget, not a vendor’s best-case pitch.

If your business builds or uses artificial intelligence, two names often come up. They are the EU AI Act and ISO/IEC 42001. They are easy to confuse, and getting the relationship wrong either wastes budget or leaves you exposed. This guide explains what each one requires, where they overlap, and how they work together.It shows how compliance leaders, CISOs, and AI product owners can use them without repeating work.It also helps you avoid gaps that could lead to an audit failure.
