As 2026 approaches, the mix of tighter regulations and sharper customer expectations is pushing operational security to the forefront. The core principles of cybersecurity haven’t changed much, but the way we put them into practice absolutely has. This guide is meant for SaaS teams that want to strengthen their security in a practical, sustainable way,… Read More

With the final rule for CMMC now in place and the phased rollout underway, organizations that handle FCI or CUI are entering a period where preparation has moved from the theoretical to a practical necessity. This article breaks down what preparation looks like in 2026: the decisions organizations are making, the challenges they face, the… Read More

Even as organizations modernize their IT infrastructure and associated security requirements, compliance reporting has lagged behind. Manual spreadsheets, scattered emails, and endless evidence-gathering sessions are unfortunately still the norm. But over the last few years, a technological shift has been shaping how companies prepare for audits across frameworks. That shift is automapping, or an automation… Read More

We’re reaching the end of 2025, and looking ahead to 2026, most experts are discussing the latest threats that will shape the year ahead. This year, we’re seeing a new, but not unexpected, shift to autonomous threats driven by state-sponsored actors and AI.  With that in mind, a new generation of threats, broadly known as… Read More

Extortion as a Service (EaaS) represents a growing and highly organized segment of cyber threats. In this model, threat actors and marketplace facilitators provide extortion tactics like ransomware as a purchased service, such as managed ransomware. This transforms what once was a specialised criminal endeavour into something any motivated attacker can deploy. Understanding the real… Read More

In mid-October 2025, the CISA issued one of its most urgent orders yet: Emergency Directive 26-01. The directive calls on all Federal Civilian Executive Branch (FCEB) agencies to immediately mitigate vulnerabilities in devices from F5 Networks following a state-sponsored breach of F5’s systems and access to portions of BIG-IP source code and vulnerability data. The event… Read More

A recent exploit involving a new AI-focused browser shone a light on a critical problem–namely, that browser security is a constant issue, and AI is just making that threat more pronounced. Attackers discovered a way to use that browser’s memory features to implant hidden instructions inside an AI assistant. Once stored, those instructions triggered unwanted… Read More

Compliance management gets complicated fast. Every framework has its own language, numbering, and evidence expectations. Organizations chasing multiple certifications end up maintaining separate control sets for FedRAMP, CMMC, SOC 2, ISO 27001, and NIST 800-53. Each one needs its own policies, proof, and workflows. That creates a lot of redundant work. Teams rewrite the same… Read More

When the federal government shuts down, the public sees closed monuments, unpaid workers, and halted programs. What they do not see is the silent surge of cyberattacks targeting agencies already operating on fumes. During the most recent shutdown, attacks against U.S. government systems spiked by nearly 85%.  Cybersecurity failures during government disruptions rarely start with… Read More

The journey to CMMC Level 3 represents the highest level of cybersecurity maturity under the CMMC framework. Unlike Levels 1 and 2, which focus on FCI and CUI, respectively, Level 3 targets Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs). That means more extensive security, defined in NIST Special Publication 800-172. For organizations that support critical programs or handle… Read More

The world of cyber threats is rapidly evolving, and while we can see these changes more generally, it’s always crucial to understand them concretely. As the 2025 CrowdStrike Global Threat Report shows us, the landscape of our industry is changing.  We’re digging into this report to discuss a challenging trend: the move of hackers foregoing… Read More

Manual evidence collection slows teams down and introduces risk. Every audit cycle turns into a scramble for screenshots, exports, and documents. Each framework adds another layer of repetition. The same control might need to be proven three or four times in slightly different ways. The result? Wasted time, outdated evidence, and frustrated compliance teams.  There’s… Read More
