GDPR. NIS2. DORA. CRA. The AI Act. Five years ago your security program answered to one regulator. Soon it answers to five.
The frameworks keep coming — and each new acronym raises the same uncomfortable question: who is going to do the work?
Not the tooling. The work:
→ Reading a regulation and knowing which of your controls already satisfy it — and which gaps are real
→ Sitting across from an auditor and defending the evidence
→ Translating legal text into engineering backlog, and engineering reality into board language
That's a skill set, not a software category. And it's scarcer than ever: the global cybersecurity workforce gap is measured in millions, and compliance experience on top of engineering depth is the rarest combination of all.
This is exactly why the boutique model exists. A boutique consultancy lives or dies by one thing: talent density.
Frameworks multiply. Fundamentals don't. People who master the fundamentals can carry you through every acronym that's coming — and more are coming.
