Too often, businesses will treat compliance as a box to tick. But if you shift your perspective, it becomes much more than that.

In the world of cybersecurity, few ideas or concepts are as fundamental and enduring as the CIA triad. Standing for Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability, the triad has helped shaped information security for decades. It serves as a universal framework for not only technical professionals, but also for policymakers, auditors, business leaders, and executives who want to ensure that systems are secure, resilient, and compliant.

The role of external penetration tests in cybersecurity compliance

Unlike vulnerability scans, which identify known weaknesses, penetration tests actively attempt to exploit vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and gaps in your defences, mimicking the tactics used by cyber criminals and other threat actors.

What is ‘zero trust’ and how does it relate to compliance?

Zero Trust is a cybersecurity approach built on one core assumption, “Never trust, always verify.” It operates on the principle that no user, device, or system, either internal or external, should be inherently trusted to access resources.
