Staying informed about all of the cyber security compliance standards is essential to keeping your company safe from hackers. Read on to learn about the various steps you can take to stay up to date with your industry’s compliance standards.
Organizations operating in an international context need to appoint a DPO. But what does DPO mean? And how do they prevent cyberattacks? DPOs, internal or external, satisfy compliance obligations and streamline data security for better attack prevention, detection, and response.

2025 Trends in AI for Healthcare and Life Sciences: Key Insights from NVIDIA’s Industry Report
Artificial intelligence is transforming healthcare and life sciences more rapidly than nearly any other sector. From diagnostic imaging to drug discovery, AI is not just a promise, it’s already delivering measurable impact. According to NVIDIA’s State of AI in Healthcare and Life Sciences: 2025 Trends report, the industry is charging ahead in AI adoption, with early success stories driving deeper investment and broader use cases across the ecosystem.
Here’s a breakdown of the report’s most actionable insights and what they mean for stakeholders navigating this rapidly evolving AI frontier.
Military contractors that work with sensitive information need to prove their security chops through NIST and CMMC compliance. If a contract requires CMMC Level 2, you’ll need to implement the entirety of NIST SP 800-171, including 110 unique cybersecurity practices.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming how businesses operate—but with innovation comes risk. From biased decision-making to security vulnerabilities, AI systems introduce a new frontier of ethical, operational, and regulatory challenges. That’s where the NIST AI Risk Management Framework (AI RMF) comes in.
Cybersecurity within the Defense Industrial Base (DIB) is a matter of national security. That’s why the Department of Defense (DoD) requires contractors to meet strict standards under the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC). For many organizations, achieving CMMC Level 2 or higher may involve working with a specialized third party: a Certified Third-Party Assessor Organization (C3PAO). But what exactly does a C3PAO do?
As organizations adopt artificial intelligence (AI) for automation, content creation, decision-making, and other critical functions, they must ensure that their management systems support ethical, secure, and responsible use of AI. To meet this need, the ISO 42001 requirements provide a structured framework for establishing and maintaining effective AI management systems (AIMS).
Understanding the 10 comprehensive clauses of ISO 42001 requirements is essential for businesses that want to align AI practices with internationally recognized standards. This article breaks down each clause and explains how they help organizations balance innovation, compliance, and trust in AI-driven processes.
The CMMC implementation timeline is no longer a distant concern for DoD contractors, it’s an urgent priority. The Department of Defense (DoD) is enforcing cybersecurity requirements through the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) 2.0 framework, with all new contracts requiring compliance by 2026. At the same time, the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) requires organizations to implement NIST SP 800-171 controls as the baseline for security.
Delaying CMMC implementation now puts contractors at risk of disqualification from future defense contracts, a risk that will only grow as competition intensifies.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming industries such as healthcare, finance, defense, and logistics. But as adoption accelerates, so does AI risk, exposing organizations to new operational, ethical, and compliance challenges.
Without proper governance, AI risks can result in privacy violations, ethical concerns, regulatory non-compliance, and cybersecurity vulnerabilities that threaten business resilience.
To address these challenges, the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) released ISO/IEC 42001 in December 2023. This first-of-its-kind global standard establishes an AI Management System (AIMS) to help organizations identify, assess, and mitigate AI risk while enabling responsible innovation.
In this blog, we’ll explore the five most critical AI risks businesses face today and explain how ISO 42001 provides a structured framework to manage them effectively.
