Getting compliant can be a time-consuming and tedious process when done manually.

Many data breaches start with a compromised account from one of a company’s employees. Jérôme Berloty and Benjamin Netter decided to build a product based on that fact and launched Riot in 2020. ‍ Based in Paris, France, Riot combines learning modules and phishing simulations to raise cyber awareness and solve compliance needs. The courses are chat-based, five minutes long, and immersive and interactive, making learning more entertaining. ‍

The way we do business continues to evolve, and with that, the requirements to remain compliant continue to evolve as well. PCI-DSS is no exception — as of March 2024, PCI-DSS 4.0 will introduce some significant changes.
