Supplier Risk in Ireland: What NIS2 and the EU AI Act Are Really Asking There is a question moving through Irish organisations at the moment, and it rarely arrives in conversation. It turns up in a customer’s security questionnaire, in an insurer’s renewal pack, or in the pre-qualification documents for a public tender. The wording changes, […]
Download Policy Under NIS2: What Irish Organisations Need to Evidence Ask an IT manager how software gets onto a laptop and the honest answer has changed a lot in ten years.
