In today's digital threat landscape, cybersecurity is no longer the exclusive technical concern of IT departments, but has become a strategic pillar of corporate governance. The entry into force of the NIS Directive2<\/b><\/a>Directive, together with consolidated frameworks such as the ENS (National Security Scheme)<\/b> <\/a>and specific regulations such as DORA (Digital Operational Resilience Act)<\/b><\/a>has created a new legal scenario in the European Union.

    Traceable evidence:<\/b> In the event of an audit or incident, the company must demonstrate with historical data that controls were active and monitored.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The Challenges of Compliance: From Paper to Reality<\/h3>\n

    Despite the clarity of the legal texts, many organizations find themselves in a state of analysis paralysis. Cybersecurity and compliance teams face three critical questions: <\/p>\n
