Being on the right side of compliance means ensuring that your business adheres to all relevant laws, regulations, and industry standards that govern its operations.

In 2023, the ICO released a significantly more comprehensive set of requirements governing the Cyber Essentials Plus certification. Compliance to this standard has become more important than ever before, with supply chain contracts becoming dependent on its’ compliance and the threat of funding being withdrawn from public organisations if they are non compliant.

Additionally, in October 2024, the NIS 2 European directive was introduced and this will have a direct bearing on organisations dealing with Europe. There are serious legal implications for directors of organisations who do not comply with this directive. In January 2025, the DORA (Digital Operational Resilience Act) regulations came into force for financial services organisations, leading to implications for ISO-27001 certification.

The landscape is continually evolving, and EnterpriseRed are keeping up to date with the changes and offering solutions that assist in not just certification, but helping proactively prepare you for compliance to, and certification of, these standards.

What can be done?

Ensure that you fully understand the legal and regulatory landscape that your organisation must adhere to. By doing so, you are better able to become, and remain, compliant. This is, of course, not a “one and done” activity, but means ongoing monitoring of changes which could affect your business.

Why do it?

You have a responsibility to comply with the relevant regulatory and legal demands of the industry you are in. Being on the wrong side of compliance risks legal action and fines, as well as reputational issues which could affect your ability to remain in business.
