Other Sectoral Regulated Entities

The regulatory perimeter around cybersecurity, operational resilience, and digital trust is rapidly expanding. Banks, insurers, cloud service providers, and critical-infrastructure operators now face a new generation of compliance frameworks, including the NIS2 Directive, the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA), and sector-specific supervisory regulations. These instruments redefine how organizations must govern ICT risk, monitor third parties, and demonstrate assurance to regulators. Compliance is no longer a point-in-time activity, but a continuous state of readiness grounded in demonstrable control and evidence.

Yet many regulated entities face similar challenges: complex legacy systems, fragmented governance structures, and unclear accountability between technology and compliance teams. They must not only interpret broad legal obligations but also transform them into verifiable, auditable technical and organizational controls. Under NIS2, that means implementing risk-based security policies, supply-chain assurance, and coordinated incident reporting across essential and important entities. Under DORA, it requires continuous operational resilience testing, ICT third-party risk management, and board-level accountability for digital risk governance.

SpearIT helps organizations bridge this gap between regulatory intent and operational execution. We deliver risk-based cybersecurity assessments, penetration testing, red teaming, and vulnerability management aligned with both regulatory and technical standards. Beyond testing, we advise on the structures and documentation needed to prove compliance, from governance frameworks and security policies to incident-response playbooks and third-party risk registers. Our consultants bring both regulatory fluency and technical depth, ensuring that security assurance directly supports compliance obligations under NIS2 and DORA.

We view compliance as more than an obligation: it is an opportunity to embed resilience, transparency, and trust into the organization’s culture, and enhance the value of the offered services.
By aligning with recognized standards and supervisory expectations, SpearIT helps regulated entities build an assurance model that is measurable, defensible, and sustainable, transforming compliance from a burden into a competitive advantage.

A Seamless Path Toward Practical Regulatory Compliance.

We work side by side with our clients, guiding them through every stage of their compliance journey with clarity, confidence, and complete peace of mind.

Evolving regulatory landscape

Overlapping, dynamic requirements introduced by multiple regulations that many organizations struggle to interpret and operationalize.
Fragmented governance

Accountability for ICT risk and cybersecurity often spans multiple functions — compliance, IT, audit, and operations — leading to unclear ownership and inefficient controls.
Legacy systems & supplier dependencies

Outdated technology, third-party dependencies, and limited visibility into ICT supply chains create compliance and resilience gaps.
Demonstrating evidence-based assurance

Supervisory bodies increasingly demand continuous proof through metrics, testing results, and documented governance practices..
