Background:In the last quarter, we worked with a Tier-1 LLM company to evaluate the real security posture of their models, interface layers, and safety mechanisms. That engagement completed our third major model-security assessment, and across these three operations, one pattern became unmistakable: agentic AI is evolving far faster than today’s security assumptions. What emerged from these engagements is now a crystallised, field-tested framework for securing modern AI syste

Decoding the EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) : Part 1
The EU Cyber Resilience Act, enforceable December 2027, transforms cybersecurity from voluntary guidance to binding law. It mandates SBOMs, 24-hour vulnerability reporting to ENISA, and secure-by-design principles for all digital products sold in the EU. Penalties reach €15M or 2.5% of global turnover. Together with EO 14028 and NIST CSF 2.0, these frameworks make supply-chain transparency the new baseline for market access and customer trust.

AI Compliance and Software Supply Chain Security: The Trace-AI Metadata Model
The Compliance Blind Spot in the AI Era Artificial intelligence has revolutionized how we build software, but the tools we use to prove it’s secure are stuck in the past. Today’s applications are complex assemblies of pre-trained models, microservices, and countless open-source dependencies. While this accelerates innovation, it also creates a critical challenge for software supply chain security : how do you secure what you can't see? Traditional vulnerability scanners were

From SBOM to ZSBOM: Why Metadata-First Risk Classification Matters
Why Today’s SBOMs Aren’t Enough Every major breach in the last five years has one thing in common: the attackers didn’t break through the front door, they slipped in through dependencies. That’s why governments rushed to make Software Bills of Materials (SBOMs) mandatory. From the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) in Europe to Executive Order 14028 in the United States, SBOMs are now table stakes for selling software. But here is the problem: most SBOMs are glorified spreadsheets

Compliance Automation: A Game Changer for SaaS Founders
Compliance as a Revenue Enabler, Not Just Risk Reduction Almost every founder we met started the conversation with a similar anxiety: “How quickly can we get ISO 27001 or SOC 2? We’re losing deals.” On the surface, this sounded like a risk problem. In reality, it was a revenue one. Their boards and CROs were not asking for a compliance certificate to look good on the wall – they needed it because enterprise customers were holding back contracts without it. This matches what E

One-Click Risk Remediation: Behind the Scenes of Remed-AI
Introduction: Why Remediation Is Broken Most compliance tools do a decent job of telling you what's wrong. Very few help you to actually fix it. And none do it fast enough to keep up with a modern release cycle. In most organisations, even early-stage start-ups, the person who detects a vulnerability and the person who can fix it often sit on different teams, with different priorities and access controls. This disconnect delays resolution and creates security & compliance de
