We built Vivid Risk for the CISO's side: a readiness assessment with a citation on every scored control, for your jurisdiction. It scores what you tell it, is not a certification and files nothing.

Which of the six does your board ask about least?

The same incident. A different question.

A security manager asks: is it handled?
A CISO asks: can we stand behind it, to the board, the regulator and the customer?

Six places where the question changes 🧵

6. AI
Manager: which AI tools are staff using?
CISO: which of our AI systems is high-risk, and what do we owe as its deployer?

Under the EU AI Act, a deployer's duties are set system by system.

And watch your proposals. "Preparing for NIS2" is accurate. "NIS2 compliant" is a claim Irish law gives no test for yet.

Irish MSPs: NIS2's supply-chain duty can reach you in two ways, even though Ireland hasn't transposed NIS2 yet (S.I. No. 360/2018 still applies). 🧵

One step this week: write down what you'd tell a client at 2am if their incident started in your tooling. Who calls whom, within what window, with what evidence.

[Hussam Ismail @arabawi1]

Both are self-assessment tools. No certification, nothing filed with any authority. The judgement stays with you.

Last month we launched two workspaces at Vivid Risk:

• the Compliance Workspace, for running cyber compliance through the year
• the AI Act Workspace, for organisations that use AI

Built for Ireland, the UK and the EU. 🧵

[Hussam Ismail @arabawi1]

The AI Act Workspace: a register of the AI systems you use, a guided path through the Act one article at a time, your own classification with your reasoning, and the duties for your role with citations.

From €35/month excl. VAT. One AI system is free, no card.
