01The problem

Compliance pressures in government

Government and public sector entities must meet national cybersecurity mandates, protect citizen data, secure critical services, and report continuously to national authorities.

  • Manual compliance: control evidence collected by hand across departments
  • Spreadsheet dependency: NCA and sectoral evidence tracked in Excel
  • Audit fatigue: NCA, sector regulator, and internal audits stacked together
  • Evidence gaps: missing artifacts during national evaluations
  • Fragmented risk visibility: cyber, ops, and citizen data risk in silos
  • Poor board reporting: ministerial leaders lack a single view
  • Vendor risk blind spots: outsourced and cloud providers under-monitored
