DORA Data Integrity: What “Highest Standard” Actually Requires
The regulation (EU) 2022/2554 – Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) – has been in force since January 2025. If you are a CISO, IT Risk lead, or Compliance Architect at a regulated financial entity, you are already informed. The question most firms have not yet answered is deceptively specific: what does verifiable data integrity demand of your ICT stack? A survey found that 96% of firms across EMEA consider their current level of digital resilience insufficient. Here you can reinforce and learn: what DORA’s integrity standard says – in its own language; where standard systems fall short; what a technically defensible integrity control looks like; and which operational tools address…

Why Business Continuity Planning Must Keep Up With Data Center Risk
IT professionals often dread the task of migrating software — an undertaking that can require months, if not years, of work and the difficult job of gaining cultural buy-in from staff. Migrations like these happen for many reasons — new apps and systems might have a better business case because of technological edge or cost, alternatively, a merger or acquisition might mean that new staff have to be brought into alignment with the broader company. Misaligned systems can immediately cause problems between processes, departments and new acquisitions. When one side uses Microsoft and another uses Google, files might be saved in different formats and useful functions might not exist on a colleague’s machine. These…

Critical Governance in NIS2: Efficient Management with Truth Enforcer
Are you ready for the growing pressure of compliance? The NIS 2 Directive has set the field to place strict accountability on senior management. This responsibility makes leaders responsible for ensuring governance measures are effective, compliance is demonstrable, and reporting is accurate.

Source: NIS 2 Directive, Article 34 Under NIS 2, compliance is no longer a check-the-box exercise. Senior management must now: Prove adherence to regulatory requirements…

Verifiable File Integrity is a New Core Control in Regulated Industries
Archived and active files are no longer treated as passive artifacts, especially in regulated industries. This means that the file’s lifecycle has become a key concern in sectors where data can make or break operations, including many businesses, if we consider the overall digital transition. A file can be anything from financial statements and compliance reports to contracts, customer records, and operational logs. Either way, these files are sometimes scrutinized only long after they are created and used. This scrutiny means that the question is not only what a record says, but whether an organization can prove that it has not been altered since a specific point in time. The…

EU Bank Mergers Hit New High: The Necessity of Operational Resilience and Secure Synchronization
The European banking sector is experiencing cross-border dealmaking not seen in more than a decade. To the point of reaching levels not seen since the global financial crisis. What does that mean? Institutions are pursuing scale and profitability from a competitive position in a fragmented market, and that is translating into an increase in mergers as the strategic lever to achieve it. Historical consolidation cycles, like the one we’re experiencing right now, are not ideal comparison points. The current market has different regulations, including cyber sensitivity and risk-based policies, that change the fundamentals. The introduction of the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) and the expansion of cybersecurity obligations under NIS2…

Journalists are getting their IP stolen by AI without recognition
All the development and effort journalists put into producing their final work is being absorbed by artificial intelligence systems without permission, compensation, or recognition. From investigative pieces and interviews to field recordings and long-form analysis, content is being scraped at scale and used to train large language models. The same systems can then generate summaries or synthetic responses that appear detached from the original authors. The Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism has examined how AI is reshaping copyright law and forcing courts to grapple with whether training models on journalistic content constitutes fair use or infringement. Lawsuits such as the case brought by The New York Times illustrate…
