Not all digital assets demand the same level of cybersecurity scrutiny.
Custom web-facing applications that handle critical content require the highest level of protection. And that bar has recently been raised by updated regulations such as DORA, BIO, NIS2, and DigiD. Audit requirements for critical components have evolved—from demonstrating design effectiveness to proving operational effectiveness. In practice, this means that a custom application deployed through continuous delivery pipelines needs far more than basic logging and a few sample checks. It must provide ongoing, verifiable evidence of secure and reliable operation.
