Kristy Pepping reposted thisThank you for sharing, Lutz Naake. Worth a read 👇 A helpful perspective on navigating NIS2 and DORA, and the importance of taking a more integrated approach to resilience - particularly for ICT (Information Communication Technology) service providers. https://lnkd.in/e9Jj_567 #NIS2 #DORA #TechnologyRisk #FinancialServices #ICTProviders #ThirdPartyRisk Jaime Kipnes, Gregory Gruz, Sven Bartheidel, Patrick Schneider, Sebastian Höll, Thi-Diem-My Tran.Kristy Pepping reposted thisNavigating NIS2 and DORA is fast becoming a defining moment for ICT service providers, across Europe — and increasingly for those operating globally. As regulatory expectations converge, organizations are no longer managing separate compliance tracks — they are being asked to align governance, security and operational resilience into a unified approach. This is particularly complex for ICT providers supporting financial services, where DORA requirements are often extended contractually alongside NIS2 obligations. The real challenge isn’t just compliance — it’s avoiding fragmentation. Disconnected controls, inconsistent reporting and duplicated effort can introduce risk rather than reduce it. Those that take an integrated view — aligning risk management, incident response and oversight across both frameworks — can not only meet regulatory expectations, but also strengthen trust with clients and regulators. We’ve outlined the key considerations and practical steps ICT providers should be thinking about now!

Kristy Pepping reposted thisHigh performing organizations are continuously improving governance, risk management and internal controls related to resiliency, cyber and AI. EY CertifyPoint helps companies go a step further and communicate confidence in critical management systems through ISO certification. #ISO42001 #ISO27001 #ISO22301 #EYCertifyPointKristy Pepping reposted thisWhen the lights go out, are you ready? Many organizations believe they’re resilient. In reality, we’re seeing major gaps in continuity plans, testing, and regulatory readiness, just as global risks are escalating. Understanding your key processes, identifying single points of failure, associated risks and impact to your business and preparing your teams are all key to bouncing back from unexpected crises. With DORA and NIS2, the cost of being unprepared isn’t just disruption. It’s fines, reputational damage, and in some cases, operational shutdown. That’s why achieving ISO 22301 certification is important, and why at EY CertifyPoint we go further to help organizations build real trust and resilience in practice, not just on paper.

Kristy Pepping liked thisKristy Pepping liked thisAs AI adoption accelerates and frontier AI is changing the vulnerability landscape, SOC reporting is evolving to help organizations communicate trust and confidence in their controls to their stakeholders. Service organizations should anticipate, if they aren’t already feeling, customer expectations not just about the existence of a vulnerability management and resilience program but specifically how it has adapted to AI-driven threats, what evidence supports management’s claims and how those claims are represented in tested controls in the most recent SOC reports. They will want clear evidence that vulnerability management, patching, secure development, vendor oversight and penetration testing are evolving to meet an AI-accelerated risk environment.

Kristy Pepping liked thisAI is exposing a critical governance gap in corporate finance that traditional risk management was never designed to address. I explore this in my latest piece with The Global Treasurer. Thanks for having me... #ShapeTheFutureWithConfidence #EYForensics Liban Jama | Sally Trivino | Gary Burke | François Langlois | Arpinder Singh | Nick Jones | Neil Fishwick | Richard Abbey | Fabrizio Santaloja | Mariusz Witalis | Julie Fenton | Kip Ebel | Campbell Jackson | Glenn Perachio | Justin Wilson | Richard Hilton | Sascha Gabriel | Arpit Bothra | Mike Savage | Jonathan MillsKristy Pepping liked thisAs AI transforms the engine room of corporate finance, traditional risk management is hitting a breaking point. Dilek Cilingir, EY's Global Forensic & Integrity Services Leader, explores why treasury leaders must move beyond reactive retrofitting and embrace a "compliance by design" approach to stay ahead of evolving threats like model drift and data poisoning. Key takeaways for treasury leaders: 1. The "Black Box" Problem: Why explainability and human oversight are non-negotiable for regulatory readiness. 2. Centralized Control vs. Local Innovation: How to scale AI use cases globally without sacrificing agility or security. 3. Shared Accountability: Why AI risk can no longer be siloed in IT and must report directly to the Board.

Kristy Pepping reacted on thisKristy Pepping reacted on thisThe role of IT controls in sustainability is no longer a back-office topic, it is foundational. In many organizations, when it comes to data and IT controls, the ESG reporting challenges do not stem from a lack of intent, but from themes like fragmented system landscapes, inconsistent or unstructured data sources, unclear data ownership and data flows, inappropriate access and change controls. This is where ESG systems, IT governance, risk, and controls play a crucial role. When ESG systems are supported by robust IT controls and well understood data flows, organizations are far better positioned to deliver accurate and complete ESG reporting. Having reliable trustworthy data and controls over ESG systems does not just support compliance. It builds trust, confidence, and credibility in an organizations sustainability reporting. How confident are you that your ESG data and systems are supported by IT controls designed for today’s reporting and regulatory expectations? If you are working at the intersection of ESG, data and IT, I would be keen to exchange perspectives on what’s working, what’s challenging and where you see the biggest gaps today.

Kristy Pepping liked thisKristy Pepping liked thisSee our new SOC IAM thought leadership: https://lnkd.in/gNYKePnA Identity and Access Management (IAM) continues to be one of the most common drivers of SOC report findings. In a recent internal analysis of nearly 4,000 SOC reports supporting clients’ 2024 and 2025 financial audits, 54% of the deviations found in SOC 1 reports and 41% of the deviations in SOC 2 reports were related to logical access. Strong IAM governance — including clear ownership, timely access changes and disciplined reviews — plays a critical role in demonstrating reliable, auditable control environments. Strengthening IAM isn’t just about compliance. It’s about building trust and confidence that stands up to scrutiny. #IAM, #SOCReporting, #SOC1, #SOC2, #ISO, #TechnologyRisk Shelly (Emanuel) Fliehe, Jatin Sehgal, Daryl Box, Dennis Houtekamer, John Koo
