The digital transformation of industrial landscapes has brought unprecedented advancements in efficiency and productivity for Operational Technology (OT) companies. But this surge in connectivity exposes critical infrastructure to heightened cybersecurity risks, such as: To address these risks, OT companies should adhere to the guidelines in the European Union’s Directive on Security of Network and Information Systems (NIS2).

Cyber risk regulations like NIS2 and DORA in the EU, or PS21/3 in the UK, signal a seismic shift toward strengthening cyber resilience and enforcing accountability. Championing regulations is not just a matter of checking compliance boxes: it’s an opportunity to become a business leader. To enable growth and protect revenue.

Today we’re excited to share several milestones as we continue on our mission to secure the internet and protect consumer data. ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ And we’re just getting started. ‍ As we continue to reimagine GRC tools for the future of trust, we’ve built enterprise-ready features and rolled out additional Vanta AI capabilities along with support for the NIST AI Risk Management Framework. ‍ ‍

Conducting regular user access reviews is an effective way to make sure your organization is securing access to critical systems and third-party vendors. Frameworks like SOC 2 and ISO 27001 even require proof of regular access reviews to demonstrate compliance. ‍ Without automation, access reviews are tedious and time-consuming, requiring IT and security teams to manually record user access information in a spreadsheet and take countless screenshots of access permissions screens. ‍

The pace and complexity of AI technologies is increasing every day. In this rapidly changing environment, it’s critical for companies to adopt a rigorous approach to safely and responsibly incorporating AI into their products and processes. ‍ That’s why we’re excited to announce that the NIST AI Risk Management Framework (RMF) is now available in beta.

Welcome back to our ongoing series on the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS). We’ve been journeying through the various requirements of this critical security standard, and today, we’re moving forward to explore Requirement 5 of PCI DSS v4.0.

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) developed the NIST 800-171 framework to set guidelines and security requirements for protecting controlled unclassified information (CUI). NIST first created the framework in June 2015 but has since revised the publication several times, most recently in November 2023.
