As 2026 approaches, the mix of tighter regulations and sharper customer expectations is pushing operational security to the forefront. The core principles of cybersecurity haven’t changed much, but the way we put them into practice absolutely has. This guide is meant for SaaS teams that want to strengthen their security in a practical, sustainable way, not just get through another audit.
Even as organizations modernize their IT infrastructure and associated security requirements, compliance reporting has lagged behind. Manual spreadsheets, scattered emails, and endless evidence-gathering sessions are unfortunately still the norm.
But over the last few years, a technological shift has been shaping how companies prepare for audits across frameworks. That shift is automapping, or an automation capability within compliance reporting platforms that translates system data, cloud configurations, and organizational artifacts directly into mapped compliance controls.
This article explores what automapping is, why it matters, how it works behind the scenes, and how it changes compliance (and security) outcomes for cloud-first organizations.
Extortion as a Service (EaaS) represents a growing and highly organized segment of cyber threats. In this model, threat actors and marketplace facilitators provide extortion tactics like ransomware as a purchased service, such as managed ransomware. This transforms what once was a specialised criminal endeavour into something any motivated attacker can deploy.
Understanding the real dangers, recognizing why compliance matters, and working with trusted security partners represent the best defense for organizations operating in this high-risk environment.
