A recent study by Security Scorecard showed that "approximately 29% of all breaches were attributable to a third-party attack."

SOC 2, or Service Organization Control 2, is a framework designed to manage and safeguard data stored in the cloud. This article will delve into the principles of SOC 2, what SOC 2 compliance entails, and the actions management should take upon receiving a service provider's SOC 2 certification report.

DORA is a critical regulation for our industry and aims to protect financial companies, like banks and insurers, from digital threats. Companies have until January 2025 to fully comply. They need to assess their current digital security, improve where necessary, and ensure third-party services, like cloud providers, meet the standards. Regular testing, updating policies, and training employees are crucial steps. Document automation can be key here, especially in managing compliance documentation, incident reporting, and ongoing risk assessments to meet DORA's stringent demands. https://lnkd.in/gkWiKRQW #regulations #ICT #compliance
