Recently attended an educational session hosted by the ISACA Puget Sound Chapter focused on Integrated Governance and Enterprise Risk Management in the age of AI. The session, presented by Krishna Sheshabhattar, Head of Governance at Atlassian, explored how organizations can move governance from framework to practice using a scalable Hub-and-Spoke operating model. Key Concepts Discussed Integrated Governance Governance was described as a system of policies, processes, and co

One theme came through clearly at this year’s cybersecurity summit: we are not facing fundamentally new attacks, we are facing the same attacks executed faster, in parallel, and at scale. That distinction matters. The problem isn’t novelty. It’s speed, coordination, and compression — and most enterprise defenses were never designed for that operating model. Across sessions from Horizon3.ai, Cerby, Sonatype, and Stillwater, a consistent picture emerged: Attacks no longer

CMMC supplier readiness is becoming a defining factor for manufacturers entering or expanding within the defense ecosystem. Key insights from PNDC’s SCOC event highlight how primes are increasing expectations around data protection, NIST 800 171 implementation, and cyber maturity across the supply chain. Companies that prepare early will be better positioned for upcoming DoD opportunities.

CMMC is now active in DoD contracts, and Level 2 compliance is the new requirement for any organization handling CUI. With phased rollout starting November 10, 2025, contractors must complete NIST 800-171 aligned self-assessments, update SPRS scores, and prepare for C3PAO certification. Early action reduces risk, protects revenue, and keeps you eligible for new DoD opportunities.

The old way of managing compliance—manual tasks, endless checklists, and constant rework—can’t keep up with today’s pace. Securim 2.0 introduces intelligent, adaptive workflows that automate what slows teams down and enhance what they do best. The result: faster, smarter, always-ready compliance.

Public Safety Answering Points (PSAPs) are increasingly targeted by ransomware and cyber incidents that threaten 9-1-1 availability. As NG9-1-1 connectivity expands, so does the attack surface. Securim’s practical roadmap helps PSAPs strengthen cybersecurity, ensure continuity, and protect lives when every second counts.

Navigating the Evolving Cybersecurity Landscape As a trusted cybersecurity advisor to the Defense Industrial Base (DIB), Securim closely monitors evolving compliance requirements and emerging threats. 2025 marks a pivotal year in DoD cybersecurity policy—especially for contractors seeking to maintain eligibility for federal contracts. CMMC 2.0 Is No Longer Optional The Department of Defense began full enforcement of Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) 2.0 as of

A small defense contractor, already handling Federal Contract Information (FCI), was preparing to bid on a Department of Defense contract involving Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI).
