Regulations

Six regimes. One evidence core.

NIS2/NISG, DORA, ISO/IEC 27001, the EU AI Act, GDPR, and SOC 2 often require essentially the same evidence — just in different formats, with different deadlines, overseen by different authorities. This overview summarises, for each regulation: what applies, from when, where the primary source is — and how ReportAct solves the evidence trail for it.
