EU Cybersecurity Package and NIS2: What InfoSec Professionals Need to Know

As someone tracking EU regulatory developments alongside ISO compliance and cryptography standards, the revised Network and Information Security Directive (NIS2) represents the most comprehensive update to European cybersecurity requirements since the original 2016 directive. What makes this particularly relevant for InfoSec professionals is the explicit integration of post-quantum cryptography timelines into regulatory frameworks - a recognition that the threat landscape is evolving faster than many organizations realize.

Understanding the NIS2 Reforms

The revised NIS2 directive aims to clarify scope, enhance legal certainty, and promote EU-wide standards across 18 critical sectors. The reforms address three areas that will directly impact operational security:

The Pitch vs. The Spreadsheet

You’ve seen the headlines. You’ve attended the boardroom presentations. Some consultant with expensive slides told you AI will “transform your workforce” and you nodded along while mentally calculating severance packages.

Before you start drafting those redundancy letters, let’s talk numbers. Not the shiny projected ones. The real ones.

95% of AI Projects Return Exactly Nothing

MIT’s 2025 report “The GenAI Divide” dropped a truth bomb: despite $30-40 billion in enterprise AI investment, 95% of organizations report zero measurable return on their AI pilots.

Building an AI Governance Practice in Slovenia

I’m co-founding an AI consulting and auditing startup for SMEs. We help companies that are too big to ignore AI, too small for expensive international consultants.

What I Actually Do

Consulting & Implementation: ISO 42001 AI Management Systems, ISO 27001 Information Security. I help organizations build governance frameworks that actually work.

Auditing: Certified ISO 27001 auditor, ISM and AIM. Independence matters - I keep consulting and auditing roles strictly separate.

2026+: What to Do When Everyone Can Do Everything

2025 was the year of simplification. Complex workflows collapsed into a few buttons. The distance between “I want this” and “done” is approaching zero. Soon we’ll be generating things through neural interfaces paired with AI agents. (Screenshot this.)

Now everyone can make anything - and everyone does. Content factories pump out AI-generated slop at industrial scale. Algorithms lock us into bubbles of perfectly curated comfort: soft, familiar, frictionless. Reels, shorts, endless scroll. Attention has become reflexive. In this ocean of noise, good ideas drown as quickly as bad ones.

EU Court Ruling Forces Marketplaces to Verify User Data Before Publishing: Is Your Platform Compliant?

Does your online marketplace publish user-generated listings without verifying the personal data they contain? A landmark ruling from the Court of Justice of the European Union in Russmedia Digital (C-492/23) just fundamentally changed how platforms must handle personal data - and the compliance burden is substantial.

Marketplaces Are Now Data Controllers

The Court ruled that marketplace operators qualify as data controllers under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) for personal data contained in user-posted listings - even when platforms neither create the content nor know the advertiser’s identity. The rationale? By deciding to make listings public and exploiting them commercially, platforms exercise control over personal data processing.

KPMG Breaks New Ground as First Big Four Firm to Achieve ISO 42001 AI Certification in the U.S.

Is your organization prepared for the AI governance standards that are reshaping professional services? KPMG in the U.S. has achieved a significant milestone by becoming the first of the Big Four accounting firms in the country to receive ISO 42001 certification - the world’s first international standard for Artificial Intelligence Management Systems (AIMS).

Why This Certification Matters for Your Business

ISO 42001:2023 isn’t just another compliance checkbox. This comprehensive framework provides structured guidance for designing, developing, and deploying AI systems while promoting accountability, transparency, and trust. For organizations grappling with AI implementation challenges, KPMG’s achievement signals a critical shift toward standardized AI governance.

EU Digital Omnibus Drops: Is Your Compliance Strategy About to Become Obsolete?

Are you still building your compliance framework around the current GDPR, AI Act, and Data Act requirements? The European Commission just published the most sweeping reform of EU digital laws since 2018 - and everything you thought you knew about data protection compliance might be about to change.

The Regulatory Earthquake You Can’t Ignore

On 19 November 2025, the European Commission released two proposed regulations that will fundamentally reshape how businesses handle data, AI, and cybersecurity in Europe. The Digital Omnibus (2025/0360) and Digital Omnibus on AI (2025/0359) aren’t minor tweaks - they’re a complete rethinking of the EU’s approach to digital regulation.

Hamburg's €492,000 Fine Signals New Era of AI Transparency Enforcement: Are You Ready?

Is your organization using automated decision-making systems without fully understanding the transparency requirements? The Hamburg Commissioner for Data Protection’s recent €492,000 fine against a financial services provider should serve as your wake-up call.

The Case That Changes Everything

The Hamburg Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information (HmbBfDI) imposed this substantial penalty on a financial company for failing to provide adequate transparency in automated credit card application decisions. The violation? The company couldn’t explain to customers why their applications were rejected by their algorithmic systems.

UK Judge Uses AI to Draft Legal Decision: Are You Ready for AI in Professional Decision-Making?

Have you ever wondered what happens when artificial intelligence enters the courtroom? A UK First-Tier Tribunal judge recently provided a notable answer, becoming one of the first to openly disclose using AI in drafting a judicial decision - and the implications extend far beyond the legal profession.

A Notable Step Toward Transparency

In Evans v HMRC, Judge Christopher McNall made legal history by transparently disclosing his use of artificial intelligence to summarize documents and assist in drafting his decision. While this may not be the absolute first time a judge in an English court has used AI tools, McNall’s significance lies in his complete transparency and documented approach that followed the judiciary’s AI guidance.

Italy Breaks New Ground: Europe's First National AI Law Is Here – Is Your Business Ready?

Are you prepared for the regulatory shift that could redefine how your business operates with AI? Italy has just made history by becoming the first European Union member state to pass comprehensive national artificial intelligence legislation, and the implications extend far beyond Italian borders.

The Landmark Decision That Changes Everything

On September 17, 2025, the Italian Parliament approved Law No. 132 of 23 September 2025, officially taking effect on October 10, 2025. This groundbreaking legislation doesn’t just complement the EU AI Act – the European Union’s comprehensive framework that classifies AI systems by risk levels – it fills critical gaps and establishes precedents that other European nations are likely to follow.

Are Your AI Agents Legally Compliant? The Regulatory Reality Check Every Business Must Face

Are you deploying AI agents without understanding the legal minefield you’re navigating? While competitors rush to automate processes with intelligent agents, smart organizations are discovering that regulatory compliance - not just functionality - determines long-term success.

The Multi-Framework Challenge That’s Catching Everyone Off Guard

AI agents don’t operate in a regulatory vacuum. Unlike traditional software, these autonomous systems must simultaneously comply with multiple overlapping frameworks that create unprecedented complexity for businesses.

California Fines Lawyer $10,000 for ChatGPT Fabrications: Is Your Legal Team Ready for AI Accountability?

Have you ever wondered what happens when artificial intelligence meets the courtroom? California just provided a stark answer, issuing a $10,000 fine to a lawyer who submitted a court appeal filled with fabricated quotes generated by ChatGPT.

The Wake-Up Call Your Legal Department Needs

This case represents the first such sanction at the state appellate level, but it’s not the groundbreaking regulatory milestone it might initially appear. Federal courts have been issuing sanctions for AI-generated fake citations since 2023, most notably in the well-documented Mata v. Avianca case in New York federal court where lawyers were sanctioned for similar ChatGPT fabrications.
