The regulatory landscape is moving faster than ever. In 2024, the focus has shifted from data privacy to operational resilience and AI governance. Ignoring these changes doesn't just risk fines; it risks your license to operate.
Key Regulations Shaping 2024
EU AI Act
The world's first comprehensive AI law. It classifies AI systems by risk (Unacceptable, High, Limited, Minimal) and imposes strict transparency and testing requirements for high-risk systems.
DORA
For financial entities in the EU. It mandates rigorous ICT risk management, incident reporting, and—crucially—threat-led penetration testing (TLPT).
SEC Cybersecurity
Publicly traded companies in the US must now disclose material cybersecurity incidents within 4 business days and detail their risk management processes annually.
DPDP Act (India)
India's new Digital Personal Data Protection Act imposes heavy penalties for data breaches and requires clear consent mechanisms for data processing.
The CISO's Action Plan
- Map Data Flows: You cannot protect (or comply) with what you can't see.
- Automate Evidence Collection: Manual screenshots won't survive a modern audit. Use GRC automation tools.
- Board Reporting: Cyber risk must be translated into business risk for the board.
