How GRC pros can expertly move their organisations from risk to readiness
DORA, NIS2, and the EU AI Act have global risk leaders busy. As the new rules come into effect, it’s an ideal opportunity for infosec and compliance specialists and other teams to streamline and modernise how they work, collaborating towards unified GRC foundations that are ready no matter where regulators go next.
Big rule changes have global compliance leaders working even harder. Our research shows that smarter organisations are not only responding to the challenge, but they’re also achieving a level of compliance maturity beyond mere conformance.
Regulations and frameworks like DORA, NIS2, and the EU AI Act are not only obligations that must be prioritised in order to avoid penalties, they also serve as opportunities for organisations to strengthen their risk posture, improve operational workflows, and use technology more responsibly. This journey to compliance does not come without challenges, however, and requires a high-functioning ecosystem to support success.
Our findings demonstrate that organisations are well on their way to conformance despite these challenges. There is a general awareness of the repercussions of non-compliance and there are valuable actions being implemented to ensure conformance. We discovered that when organisations can address and manage the gap between strategic perspectives and operational execution, they are better equipped to navigate these steps.
We also found that by leveraging the right technology, professionals can more efficiently execute efforts required to maintain compliance. Whether in early stages of compliance or actively working to maintain it, organisations can use the findings in this report to build a framework for their journey and help future-proof their strategies.
