Actions Beyond Words: Automating Audits for Streamlined Cybersecurity Compliance in Europe 2025 | European Cyber Security Organisation (ECSO) | 22 April 2025 | Online

The efforts and resources required to fulfil security compliance requirements today are overwhelming. Whether you are a private corporation striving to comply with national and foreign laws or your suppliers’ contractual clauses, a government agency monitoring your suppliers, or a supervisory authority overseeing market entities, the compliance process is demanding. Over time, processes, procedures, and teams have been established to manage these compliance tasks. However, organisations continue to struggle, and even those with substantial budgets and IT resources are faced with the scale and complexity involved.

The interplay of different policies and regulations and the need for products and systems to be compliant to different standards makes the task of conformity assessment even harder. Another challenging aspect is the management of the vulnerabilities and the potential impact on the compliance process during the lifecycle of products, services and systems.

But it doesn’t have to be this way. In the era of cloud-native software and AI, it is inconceivable to conduct audits using manual data inputs in dedicated software, spreadsheets, or, in the worst cases, tracing paper. Europe’s digital infrastructure, and its hundreds of thousands of organisations, cannot be secured in this manner.
