As cyber threats evolve and intensify, governments and regulatory bodies around the world are implementing stricter standards to ensure digital resilience, especially within critical and high-risk industries.
From Europe’s Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) to Australia’s Trusted Information Sharing Network (TISN), the pressure is mounting on organizations to adopt secure-by-design technologies, improve visibility across their IT ecosystems, and harden their defenses against operational disruptions.
Whether you're a financial institution, a government agency, or a service provider supporting regulated entities, staying aligned with these frameworks is no longer optional; it’s a foundational requirement. That’s where trusted technology partners play a crucial role.
In this article, we’ll break down key cybersecurity regulations (DORA, TISN, ENS, NIS2, and the Cyber Resilience Act) and explore how Splashtop supports organizations in meeting their operational resilience, security, and compliance goals.
The Rising Tide of Cybersecurity Regulations
In recent years, several major cybersecurity regulations have been introduced across different regions. While each framework has its own scope and enforcement model, they all reflect a global push to improve digital resilience and reduce risks from cyber incidents, data breaches, and operational downtime.
DORA (Digital Operational Resilience Act)
Introduced by the European Union, DORA focuses on ensuring the digital operational resilience of financial entities. It establishes strict guidelines for managing ICT risks, reporting incidents, testing systems, and monitoring third-party providers.
TISN (Trusted Information Sharing Network)
TISN is an Australian government initiative aimed at strengthening the security of critical infrastructure. It encourages public and private sector organizations to share threat intelligence and collaborate on improving cybersecurity readiness.
ENS (Esquema Nacional de Seguridad)
Spain's National Security Framework provides cybersecurity guidelines for public sector organizations. ENS outlines requirements around access controls, risk assessment, traceability, and secure configurations.
NIS2 (Directive on Security of Network and Information Systems)
NIS2 is an updated European directive that expands the scope of its predecessor, NIS1. It applies to more sectors and entities, requiring stronger security practices, better incident reporting, and closer oversight of supply chain risks.
Cyber Resilience Act (CRA)
The CRA is a proposed EU regulation focused on ensuring that hardware and software products are secure throughout their lifecycle. It emphasizes secure development practices, vulnerability management, and compliance labeling.
Core Themes Across Regulations
Despite differences in geography and enforcement, DORA, TISN, ENS, NIS2, and the Cyber Resilience Act all share several core principles. These common requirements reflect a broader shift toward proactive risk management, secure digital infrastructure, and resilient IT operations.
1. Secure remote access
Organizations must ensure that any form of remote connectivity, whether for employees, vendors, or support teams, is encrypted, authenticated, and restricted to authorized users only.
2. Incident detection and response
Regulations require organizations to detect cybersecurity threats quickly and respond effectively. This includes logging access, monitoring user behavior, and having clear response procedures in place.
3. Audit logging and traceability
Maintaining an auditable trail of access and activity is essential. Logs should be retained, tamper-proof, and accessible for internal review or external audits.
4. Third-party risk management
Entities are responsible not only for their own security but also for the security of their vendors and service providers. This includes assessing vendor risks and ensuring contractual obligations around cybersecurity.
5. Patch and vulnerability management
Outdated or unpatched systems are a major risk factor. Regulations emphasize the need for timely patching, vulnerability scans, and lifecycle management of all systems and software.
6. Encryption and data protection
Sensitive data must be encrypted in transit and at rest. Organizations are also expected to follow privacy laws, such as GDPR and CCPA, and prevent unauthorized data exposure.
