What Are Claude Skills?
Claude Skills are installable knowledge packages that extend Claude's capabilities for specific domains. A skill is a .skill file — a bundled archive containing a SKILL.md instruction file and optional reference materials — that you upload to Claude once and use across all your conversations.
Once installed, a skill activates automatically when your conversation touches its topic area. You don't need to invoke it by name or use special commands. Claude simply becomes a deeper expert in that domain for the duration of your session.
Skills are ideal when you need:
- Consistent, expert-level responses on a specialized topic
- Outputs formatted to professional or regulatory standards (e.g., audit-ready control narratives, policy templates with the right clauses)
- Domain knowledge that goes beyond general LLM training — such as knowing which specific NIST 800-53 controls apply to a given scenario, or which GDPR articles govern international data transfers
How skills work under the hood: Each .skill file contains a primary SKILL.md that is loaded into Claude's context when the skill triggers, plus reference files that are loaded on demand for deeper sub-topics. This "progressive disclosure" pattern keeps context usage efficient while making comprehensive knowledge available when needed.

Feedback from the GRC and Claude AI community on LinkedIn, Reddit (r/grc · r/ClaudeAI), and beyond.
"An open-source repository of GRC Claude skills that are pretty good! It has ISO 27001, ISO 42001, SOC 2, FedRAMP, GDPR, and others. I checked them out and tested a few. It looks like the skills are at different levels but definitely a very good starting point if your AI assistant doesn't have any GRC skills installed yet."
"This open-source project by Hemant Naik transforms Claude into a compliance co-pilot using installable 'Skills' covering 9+ major GRC frameworks. The benchmark shows a 94% pass rate vs 72% for baseline Claude — a solid +22 point lift, especially on accurate citations. Practical for audit preparation, gap assessments, control mapping, and policy drafting. This represents genuine progress toward interactive, intelligence-driven compliance."

"As a rather new Claude Code user, I'm both impressed and thankful. It's really helpful that you release it publicly. I am at the stage where I understand the need for a well-written CLAUDE.md and skills. This will help me a lot."
"The skills approach is a good entry point — getting Claude to reason about specific frameworks is exactly the right instinct. The gap I kept hitting was that Claude could describe the compliance picture but couldn't act on it... this is a great start."
"I've been doing something similar for the CIS controls and it's been brilliant so far. I'll be using this for ISO and SOC 2. Thanks!"
"Hell ya. We just approved Claude for enterprise so I'll go check it out."
"I'll definitely check this out. I have a skill for threat modeling and am working on some other ones, this is super helpful."
"Awesome, thanks for sharing. I'm going to play around with this."

GRC Framework Updates
This section tracks official regulatory and standards activity across the 30 frameworks covered in this repository. Updated monthly to help GRC practitioners stay ahead of changes — new versions, enforcement actions, guidance releases, and compliance deadline shifts. Each entry below covers June 2026 only; prior months are archived in collapsible sections below.
🗓️ June 2026 Current
Published: June 10, 2026
Change indicators: 🔴 Major change · 🟡 Minor change · 🟢 No change
Seven frameworks carry a 🔴 Major indicator this month — an unusually heavy cycle. FedRAMP finalises CR26 by June 30; the EU AI Act's August 2026 high-risk deadline is being deferred to December 2027 / August 2028 under the Digital Omnibus on AI (formal adoption pending); the HIPAA Security Rule final rule missed its May target; the simplified ESRS delegated act for CSRD is expected this month; SWIFT CSCF v2026 governs the 2026 attestation cycle with Control 2.4 mandatory; California's CCPA risk-assessment regime is live with ADMT obligations six months out; and the EU CRA's notified-body framework applies from June 11.
ISO 27001 🟢
ISO/IEC 27001:2022 remains stable. Audit practice continues to embed Amendment 1:2024 climate-action clauses, and ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 27 has confirmed no revision before 2027 at the earliest. No new transition deadlines are in play. Practitioners should focus on integration work — harmonising ISMS scope statements with adjacent AIMS (ISO 42001) and PIMS (ISO 27701) implementations.
SOC 2 🟢
The AICPA 2017 Trust Services Criteria (with 2022 Points of Focus) remain unchanged. Auditors increasingly expect AI system monitoring, model versioning, and third-party AI dependency controls as CC6/CC7 evidence, and SOC 2 + AI overlay engagements (aligned to ISO 42001 and NIST AI RMF) keep growing. No action required beyond keeping control narratives current for AI-adjacent systems.
FedRAMP 🔴
CR26 finalises this month. FedRAMP publishes the final Consolidated Rules for 2026 by June 30, effective July 1 with optional transition to January 1, 2027. The single official label becomes "FedRAMP Certified"; FIPS 199 impact levels are replaced by Certification Classes A–D; narrative guidance becomes machine-readable MUST/MUST NOT rules; Rev5 and 20x are distinct, non-reciprocal lanes. FedRAMP Ready retires July 28, 2026. Action: file final comments via GitHub, map legacy SSP narratives to the new rule structure.
GDPR 🔴
The Digital Omnibus is now the dominant GDPR story. The EDPB-EDPS Joint Opinion 2/2026 opposes narrowing the personal data definition via pseudonymisation carve-outs, while supporting simplification of breach notification and cookie consent. June milestones: EDPB consultation on a single EU-wide DPIA template closed June 9. Proposed changes include an explicit legitimate-interest pathway for AI training. The GDPR text is unchanged — treat all Omnibus relief as prospective only.
HIPAA 🔴
The Security Rule final rule did not publish in the May window. The December 2024 NPRM (mandatory MFA, encryption, network segmentation, elimination of "addressable" safeguards) remains proposed with no confirmed timeline; 100+ hospital groups including CHIME are pressing HHS to withdraw it. OCR's January 2026 inflation adjustment raised max civil monetary penalties to $2,190,294 at the willful-neglect-uncorrected tier. Action: keep MFA/encryption moving — treat May 2026 publication claims as outdated.
NIST CSF 🟡
NIST is reviewing comments on SP 1347 (Informative References Quick-Start Guide; comment period closed May 6) with finalisation expected later in 2026. The OLIR ecosystem around CSF 2.0 continues to expand — including the OWASP LLM Security OLIR released in April — giving organisations richer mappings for AI-era risks. The core CSF 2.0 framework is unchanged.
PCI DSS 🟢
PCI DSS v4.0.1 remains the sole active standard, with no v4.1 timeline announced. 2026 assessments are the first full cycle under the complete rule set. QSA scrutiny remains concentrated on Req. 6.4.3 (payment page script integrity) and Req. 12.3.2 (targeted risk analyses). Organisations that deferred these requirements continue to see them raised as findings.
TSA Cybersecurity 🟢
SD Pipeline-2021-01G (effective January 9, 2026) remains the current directive for critical pipeline operators, and freight rail directive SD 1580-21-01E runs through January 15, 2027. TSA's permanent rulemaking to replace Security Directives with binding regulations continues to advance, with a final rule still expected no earlier than late 2026. No new directives or amendments this month.
ISO 42001 🟡
The EU AI Act Omnibus deferral eases — but does not remove — the timeline pressure driving ISO 42001 adoption: high-risk obligations now land December 2027 / August 2028, giving organisations a realistic window to certify first. Certification-body accreditation under ISO/IEC 42006:2025 continues to ramp, and ISO/IEC 42005:2025 remains the reference methodology for AI System Impact Assessments. No revision to 42001:2023 expected in 2026.
ISO 27701 🟡
Certification bodies are now actively issuing ISO/IEC 27701:2025 certificates following accreditation readiness reviews completed in spring. Early uptake is strongest among privacy-first organisations using the new standalone structure (no ISO 27001 prerequisite). Holders of 27701:2019 certificates remain on the transition clock to October 2028. No changes to the standard this month.
DORA 🟡
DORA has entered its first genuine supervisory enforcement cycle. The ESAs' Joint Examination Teams are actively examining the 19 designated CTPPs (including AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, IBM, and SAP), and supervisors have flagged persistent Register of Information deficiencies as an enforcement priority after the second annual submission cycle. Financial entities should verify registers correctly reflect CTPP oversight status. No amendments to Regulation (EU) 2022/2554 are pending.
DPDPA (India) 🟡
2026 remains India's compliance "build year." The government is still expected to publish the first Significant Data Fiduciary designations during 2026, triggering India-resident DPO, annual DPIA, and audit obligations. The next hard milestone is November 13, 2026 — Consent Manager registration framework becomes operational — ahead of full enforcement on May 13, 2027 with penalties up to ₹250 crore. Finalise notice/consent architecture and children's-data age-gating now.
CMMC 2.0 🟡
Phase 1 (self-assessments) continues under the 48 CFR rule. The critical date is five months out: Phase 2 begins November 10, 2026, when third-party C3PAO certification becomes a condition of award for Level 2 contracts. C3PAO assessment capacity is tightening — certification typically takes 9–12 months end-to-end, so contractors not yet in the pipeline are at real risk of missing contract eligibility windows.
NIST AI RMF 🟢
AI RMF 1.0 (NIST AI 100-1) and the Generative AI Profile remain unchanged, and no revision has been announced. The framework continues to gain regulatory relevance as the de facto US reference for AI governance — and with EU AI Act high-risk deadlines deferred, many multinationals are using AI RMF profiles as the bridge framework while EU harmonised standards mature.
SWIFT CSP 🔴
CSCF v2026 now governs the 2026 attestation cycle — the most consequential CSCF release in years. Now 32 controls (25 mandatory + 7 advisory). Headline change: Control 2.4 (Back Office Data Flow Security) is mandatory, extending the perimeter into middleware, file transfers, and payment engines. Some Architecture B institutions must reclassify as A4. CSCF v2027 expected July 2026. Action: confirm architecture type, scope expanded perimeter, book assessors early.
Australian ISM 🟡
ASD published the June 2026 ISM release (June 9), continuing the quarterly update cadence. The release includes the updated ISM PDF, a June 2026 changes document, and refreshed System Security Plan annex and cloud controls matrix templates. Organisations preparing for IRAP assessments should rebaseline against the June release before finalising SSP annexes.
NIS2 🟡
Transposition remains incomplete in several Member States, with Commission infringement actions continuing. The Digital Omnibus proposes targeted NIS2 amendments including simplification of incident-reporting obligations across NIS2, GDPR, and DORA — proposals only. For entities in transposed jurisdictions, supervisory activity is increasing, with Art. 20 management-body accountability and Art. 23 reporting timelines the most common early findings.
CCPA / CPRA 🔴
California's CPPA regulations — effective January 1, 2026 — are now fully operational. Businesses must complete a risk assessment before any "significant risk" processing (produce within 30 days on request); pre-2026 activities must be assessed by December 31, 2027 with first attestations due April 1, 2028. ADMT obligations begin January 1, 2027. The CPPA has signalled a "new era" of intensified enforcement. Action: inventory ADMT use, map significant-risk processing, stand up the risk-assessment programme now.
ITAR 🟢
No significant DDTC rulemaking this month. The USML, registration, and licensing frameworks under 22 CFR Parts 120–130 are unchanged. Enforcement and voluntary disclosure activity continues at a steady pace; exporters should maintain TCP discipline for foreign-national access and keep screening current against consolidated lists.
LGPD (Brazil) 🟢
No new ANPD regulations or major enforcement milestones this month. The ANPD continues to mature its supervisory programme under the existing sanction and international-transfer frameworks. Organisations with Brazilian data subjects should keep RIPDs current and ensure the 3-working-day breach notification workflow remains tested — Brazil's deadline is materially shorter than GDPR's 72 hours.
CSRD 🔴
Omnibus I (Directive (EU) 2026/470) entered into force March 2026, cutting CSRD scope to companies with more than 1,000 employees (descoping ~42,000 companies). The Commission's simplified ESRS delegated act — with datapoints cut ~60–70% — is expected this month, following EFRAG's December 2025 advice. Member States must transpose by March 2027. Action: re-run scope analysis and track the final ESRS delegated act closely.
CIS Controls v8 🟢
CIS Controls v8.1 remains the current release, with no v9 announced. The 18 controls, safeguard structure, and Implementation Group framework are unchanged. CIS continues to refresh Benchmarks and companion guides on its normal cadence; organisations should confirm they are referencing v8.1 (which added the Govern function alignment and refined asset classes) rather than the original v8.
EAR 🟡
The Affiliates Rule suspension remains in effect (November 10, 2025 – November 9, 2026) under the US–China trade arrangement, meaning the 50%-ownership extension of Entity List/MEU List restrictions is currently not operative — but scheduled to snap back in November 2026. Entity List additions and removals continue on a rolling basis. Action: maintain screening workflows so reinstatement does not catch transactions mid-flight.
NIST SP 800-53 🟡
Rev 5 continues to evolve through NIST's incremental "patch release" model (Release 5.2.x) via the Cybersecurity and Privacy Reference Tool. The bigger story is downstream: FedRAMP CR26 changes how Rev 5 baselines are packaged (Certification Classes, machine-readable rules), and the September 2026 FedRAMP OSCAL mandate is now a quarter away — SSP and assessment tooling should be OSCAL-ready.
EU AI Act 🔴
The August 2, 2026 high-risk deadline is being deferred. The Digital Omnibus on AI (May 7 political agreement) moves Annex III obligations to December 2, 2027 and Annex I to August 2, 2028. Two new Art. 5 prohibitions added: AI-generated non-consensual intimate imagery and CSAM. Critical caveat: until the Omnibus is formally published in the Official Journal, August 2, 2026 remains the legally operative deadline. Art. 5 and GPAI obligations in force are unaffected.
Section 508 🟡
The Revised 508 Standards are unchanged, but DOJ's Interim Final Rule (April 20, 2026) extended ADA Title II web accessibility deadlines by one year — large public entities (≥50,000 population) now until April 26, 2027; smaller entities until April 26, 2028. Federal 508 obligations are unaffected. Vendors serving both federal and state/local markets should treat the extension as schedule relief, not a pause.
WCAG 🟡
WCAG 2.2 remains the current W3C Recommendation, with WCAG 3.0 still in exploratory working-draft stage. In the EU, European Accessibility Act enforcement approaches its first anniversary (June 28) with national market-surveillance activity increasing against EN 301 549. Conformance targets are unchanged — WCAG 2.1 AA remains the legal floor in most jurisdictions, with 2.2 AA the recommended target.
NZISM 🟢
No new NZISM version was released this month; GCSB/NCSC NZ continues its periodic update cadence. Certification & Accreditation processes, classification framework, and control sections are unchanged. Agencies and suppliers should continue referencing the current published version on the NCSC NZ site when scoping C&A work.
VN-PDPL (Vietnam) 🟡
Vietnam's PDPL (Law 91/2025) completes its first six months in force. Organisations that began processing on or after January 1 should have filed cross-border transfer impact assessments within the 60-day window (Art. 20) and completed domestic DPIAs (Art. 21). The Ministry of Public Security is building supervisory practice under Decree 356/2025, with the finance sector's dual-notification breach regime (authority + data subjects within 72 hours) an early focus. Expect early enforcement signals in H2 2026.
EU CRA 🔴
Two CRA milestones converge this month. From June 11, 2026, the notified-body framework applies — Member States can formally designate conformity assessment bodies for Class II and critical products. And the September 11, 2026 reporting deadline is under three months away: manufacturers must report actively exploited vulnerabilities (24-hour early warning, 72-hour notification) via the ENISA Single Reporting Platform, in pre-launch testing. Action: stand up SBOM monitoring, define the 24/72-hour escalation runbook, and register for SRP testing.
📁 Older Updates
🗓️ May 2026
Published: May 3, 2026
ISO 27001
The 2022 transition is fully complete — no certificates referencing ISO/IEC 27001:2013 remain valid. Audit practice in 2026 continues to embed Amendment 1:2024 climate-action clauses, with auditors verifying that organisations have documented whether climate change is relevant to their ISMS scope. ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 27 has confirmed no revision to the main standard is planned before 2027. The next expected output from SC 27 is updated implementation guidance, not a new edition.
SOC 2
The AICPA's 2017 Trust Services Criteria remain unchanged. AICPA's updated Illustrative Service Auditor's Reports (revised Q1 2026) reflect evolving AI and cloud deployment patterns — auditors are now expected to address AI system monitoring, model versioning controls, and third-party AI service dependencies as part of CC6 and CC7 evidence. SOC 2 + AI overlay engagements are rising as clients request addendum sections aligned with ISO 42001 and the NIST AI RMF.
HIPAA
The HIPAA Security Rule final rule is expected to be published in May 2026, completing the overhaul first proposed in January 2025. Key changes upon finalisation: the addressable vs. required safeguard distinction is eliminated, making MFA, encryption-at-rest, and network segmentation universally mandatory for all covered entities and BAs. The Part 2 (SUD records) Notice of Privacy Practices update took effect February 16, 2026 — covered entities should verify NPP revisions are live.
GDPR
The EDPB published Guidelines 1/2026 on AI training data (April 15, 2026), clarifying the lawful basis requirements when personal data is scraped or used to train AI models. The Coordinated Enforcement Framework (CEF) 2026 on transparency obligations is underway across EU DPAs. Cumulative GDPR fines have exceeded €7.1 billion across 2,245+ documented cases. Ireland's DPC remains the busiest Big Tech enforcer, with LinkedIn (€310M) and X Corp (€550M) fines both still subject to appeal.
FedRAMP
FedRAMP Ready status retires July 28, 2026 — CSPs currently holding FedRAMP Ready must transition to the Rev5 Class A (Pilot) pathway or risk losing their marketplace listing. The Consolidated Rules 2026 (CR26), which unify FedRAMP's rev5 control requirements, are targeting publication before June 2026. RFC-0031 (Updated Incident Communications Procedures, April 8, 2026) is now finalised and incorporated into the assessment framework. The connect.gov portal retires January 2027.
NIST CSF
The public comment period for SP 1347 (Informative References Quick-Start Guide) closed May 6, 2026; NIST is now reviewing submissions before finalisation. The final SP 1308 (Cybersecurity, ERM, and Workforce Management QSG) was published in April and is available on the NIST website. An OWASP LLM Security OLIR mapped to CSF 2.0 was released April 2026, providing a reference for organisations using large language models in their environments.
PCI DSS
PCI DSS v4.0.1 remains the sole active standard. All 64 future-dated requirements became mandatory on March 31, 2025, and 2026 assessments are the first full cycle under the complete v4.0.1 rule set. Payment brands and QSAs are closely scrutinising Req. 6.4.3 (e-commerce script integrity) and Req. 12.3.2 (targeted risk analyses) — organisations that deferred these are now finding them flagged as findings. PCI SSC has not announced a v4.1 timeline.
ISO 27701
May 2026 is the formal start of third-party certification body assessments against ISO/IEC 27701:2025. Accreditation bodies including UKAS completed their readiness reviews in April, and CBs are now authorised to issue 27701:2025 certificates. Organisations holding 27701:2019 certificates have until October 2028 to transition. The 2025 edition's key change — becoming a standalone standard not requiring ISO 27001 certification — is attracting privacy-focused companies that previously lacked an ISMS baseline.
ISO 42001
The EU AI Act's August 2026 deadline for high-risk AI system compliance is accelerating ISO 42001 certifications — the standard is widely cited in the Act's guidance as a relevant technical framework. The companion standard ISO/IEC 42005:2025 (AI system impact assessment) was published in late 2025 and is now being used to satisfy the AI System Impact Assessment (AISIA) requirements under 42001. No revision to the core 42001:2023 standard is expected in 2026.
DORA
The ESAs designated 19 Critical Third-Party ICT Providers (CTPPs) in November 2025; the first comprehensive oversight examinations of these entities are actively underway in 2026. Financial entities that relied on these CTPPs must reflect CTPP oversight status in their third-party ICT register submissions. The ESAs have also published Q&A clarifications on ICT incident classification thresholds, particularly for outsourced payment processing chains. No amendments to the DORA regulation (EU 2022/2554) are pending.
DPDPA (India)
India's DPDP Rules, 2025 (notified November 13, 2025) are in force but substantive enforcement obligations are phased. The government is expected to publish the first list of Significant Data Fiduciaries (SDFs) in mid-2026, triggering mandatory DPIA, DPO appointment, and data localisation requirements for designated entities. Phase II consent-manager provisions take effect November 2026. Organisations processing children's data must verify age-gating mechanisms are operational ahead of the SDF notification.
TSA Cybersecurity
SD Pipeline-2021-01G (effective January 9, 2026) is the current directive for critical pipeline operators, updating incident reporting contacts and clarifying CIP/COIP annual review requirements. Freight rail directive SD 1580-21-01E runs through January 15, 2027. TSA's proposed permanent rulemaking to replace the Security Directives with binding regulations continues to advance — public comments from 2025 are under review, with a final rule expected no earlier than late 2026.
CMMC 2.0
CMMC Phase 1 (self-assessments for Level 1/2) has been mandatory since November 10, 2025. Phase 2 begins November 10, 2026, requiring C3PAO third-party assessments for Level 2 contracts and making CMMC compliance a condition of all new DoD contract awards by October 31, 2026. Current compliance rates remain critically low — industry estimates suggest only ~1.4% of the DIB supply chain has achieved full Level 2 compliance. Contractors must submit SPRS scores and close open POA&M items urgently.
NIST AI RMF
NIST published a concept note for an AI RMF Profile for Critical Infrastructure (April 7, 2026), covering Energy, Water, Healthcare, and Financial Services sectors. The preliminary draft of NIST IR 8596 (CSF Profile for AI) is under review, extending CSF 2.0 functions to AI-specific cybersecurity risks. The AI Agent Standards Initiative (launched February 2026) adds three-pillar guidance (security, interoperability, identity) for agentic AI deployments. AI RMF 1.1 addenda are expected in late 2026.
SWIFT CSP
CSCF v2026 is the active attestation standard. The KYC-SA annual attestation window opens July 1, 2026, with a December 31, 2026 deadline. This cycle's most significant change: Control 2.4 (Data Flow Security) is now mandatory for all architecture types, requiring formal documentation and prioritisation of data flows between the SWIFT secure zone and back-office systems. Minimum TLS 1.2 and SSH2 cipher requirements are also newly mandatory. Institutions should begin evidence collection now for a July submission.
Australian ISM
The ASD released its March 2026 quarterly ISM update, the first 2026 revision to the Information Security Manual. New additions include a control addressing AI model storage and access governance (applicable to agencies storing large language models or AI training data), and a control for medical device security registers covering networked devices in government health facilities. The Essential Eight Maturity Model remains at its 2023 revision — no changes were included in this quarterly update.
NIS2
As of May 2026, 21 of 27 EU member states have transposed NIS2 into national law. The European Commission published a simplification proposal on January 20, 2026 that would introduce a new "small mid-cap" entity category and streamline the incident reporting obligation for lower-risk important entities. Competent authorities in early-transposing states (Germany, Belgium, Croatia) are issuing their first enforcement notices for registration non-compliance. Entities subject to NIS2 and DORA must manage overlapping incident reporting timelines carefully.
CCPA / CPRA
Two significant CPPA regulations took effect January 1, 2026: mandatory risk assessments for high-risk processing activities (profiling, large-scale sensitive PI processing, and selling/sharing) and cybersecurity audit requirements for businesses whose processing presents "significant risk." Businesses have until January 1, 2027 to comply with the new Automated Decision-Making Technology (ADMT) opt-out and access rules. The CPPA is actively conducting enforcement sweeps on consumer opt-out mechanisms and Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal compliance.
🗓️ April 2026
Published: April 26, 2026
ISO 27001
The October 2025 transition deadline has passed — all ISO 27001 certifications must now be to the ISO/IEC 27001:2022 edition. Certificates still referencing the 2013 standard are no longer valid. The earlier Amendment 1:2024 (climate action changes) remains in effect, requiring organisations to consider climate-related factors when scoping their ISMS. No new version is expected before 2027.
SOC 2
The AICPA's 2017 Trust Services Criteria remain unchanged. In early 2026, the AICPA issued revised points of focus clarifying how controls address evolving technologies — with greater emphasis on MFA, network segmentation, least-privilege access, and API security. Auditors are now treating these as standard evidence expectations in Type II engagements, even where not previously enforced.
HIPAA
Two significant changes took effect or are imminent. First, as of February 16, 2026, covered entities must include substance use disorder (SUD) record information in their Notice of Privacy Practices — a new Part 2 rule requirement. Second, the long-awaited HIPAA Security Rule overhaul is expected to be finalised by May 2026, eliminating the "addressable" vs "required" safeguard distinction and making MFA, encryption-at-rest, and network segmentation universally mandatory.
GDPR
The EDPB launched its Coordinated Enforcement Framework (CEF) 2026, targeting transparency and information obligations — national authorities across the EU are running aligned audits on how clearly organisations explain data processing. Two major enforcement actions remain active: Ireland's DPC fined LinkedIn €310 million and X Corp €550 million for unlawful data processing for ad targeting. Cumulative GDPR fines have now exceeded €7.1 billion across 2,245+ documented cases.
FedRAMP
April 8, 2026: RFC-0031 Updated Incident Communications Procedures was published, refining how CSPs evaluate and escalate incidents affecting federal customer data. Separately, FedRAMP Ready status is being retired on July 28, 2026, replaced by a Rev5 Class A (Pilot) designation. The Consolidated Rules 2026 (CR26) enforcement window begins January 2027, requiring migration away from the connect.gov portal, which will be retired at that time.
NIST CSF
NIST released two new CSF 2.0 Quick-Start Guides in April 2026. The final SP 1308 (Cybersecurity, ERM, and Workforce Management QSG) is now available, helping organisations integrate cybersecurity risk with enterprise risk management and HR planning. Additionally, the Initial Public Draft of SP 1347 (Informative References QSG) is out for a 45-day public comment period closing May 6, 2026.
PCI DSS
PCI DSS v4.0.1 is now the sole active version following the retirement of v4.0 in December 2024 and v3.2.1 in March 2024. All 64 future-dated requirements from v4.x became mandatory on March 31, 2025. In 2026, organisations are completing their first full-cycle assessments under v4.0.1, which include stricter requirements for e-commerce script security (Req. 6.4.3), targeted risk analyses (Req. 12.3.2), and expanded cryptographic controls. No v4.1 announcement has been made.
ISO 27701
ISO/IEC 27701 was substantially updated in October 2025, becoming a fully standalone standard — organisations no longer require ISO 27001 certification as a prerequisite. April 2026 marks a key milestone: accreditation bodies (including UKAS) are now ready to assess against ISO 27701:2025, with formal certification body assessments commencing from May 2026. The full transition deadline for existing 2019 certifications is October 2028.
ISO 42001
No revision to ISO/IEC 42001:2023 is expected in 2026 — the standard remains at its initial release. Adoption is accelerating: the Cloud Security Alliance published updated FAQs in February 2026 addressing how ISO 42001 integrates with ISO 27001 and ISO 27701 for organisations building unified governance frameworks. AI system impact assessments (a core prerequisite to risk assessment under the standard) are receiving increased scrutiny from early certification auditors.
DORA
DORA has been fully in force since January 17, 2025. In 2026, the European Supervisory Authorities (ESAs) are advancing the designation of Critical Third-Party ICT Providers (CTPPs) — the first formal CTPP oversight engagements are underway this year. Financial entities are now operating full ICT incident reporting cycles (4h initial / 72h intermediate / 1 month final report) and submitting ICT third-party registers to national competent authorities. No amendments to the regulation are pending.
DPDPA (India)
India's DPDP Rules 2025 were finalised on November 13, 2025. Implementation is phased: Phase II obligations (consent manager provisions) take effect in November 2026, while substantive compliance obligations for all Data Fiduciaries become enforceable in May 2027. In 2026, the government is expected to designate the first cohort of Significant Data Fiduciaries (SDFs), which will trigger stricter obligations including DPIA requirements and data localisation duties.
TSA Cybersecurity
TSA renewed its pipeline security directives in early 2026. SD Pipeline-2021-01G (issued January 9, 2026) is the latest revision of the incident reporting and cybersecurity coordinator requirements for pipeline operators. The freight rail directive SD 1580-21-01E (effective January 16, 2026 through January 15, 2027) continues to require freight railroad operators to maintain Cyber Risk Management Programs. TSA is also advancing a proposed rulemaking to formalise these directives as permanent regulation.
CMMC 2.0
CMMC is in active Phase 1 enforcement (since November 10, 2025): DoD contracts now require CMMC Level 1 or Level 2 self-assessments as a condition of award. Phase 2 begins November 10, 2026, at which point official C3PAO third-party assessments for Level 2 contractors become mandatory. By October 31, 2026, CMMC compliance will be required for all new DoD contract awards. Contractors should be submitting their SPRS scores and completing any outstanding POA&Ms now.
NIST AI RMF
NIST published a new AI RMF Profile for Trustworthy AI in Critical Infrastructure on April 7, 2026 (concept note stage), covering Energy, Water, Healthcare, and Financial Services. In February 2026, NIST released the preliminary draft of the Cybersecurity Framework Profile for AI (NIST IR 8596), which extends CSF 2.0 to AI-specific cybersecurity risks. The February-launched AI Agent Standards Initiative introduces a three-pillar programme (security, interoperability, identity) for autonomous AI systems. AI RMF 1.1 addenda are expected later in 2026.
SWIFT CSP
CSCF v2026 is now the active framework for the current attestation cycle. The most impactful change: Control 2.4 moves from advisory to mandatory, requiring all institutions to formally identify and prioritise data flows between the SWIFT secure zone and back-office systems. v2026 also introduces minimum key size and cipher requirements (TLS 1.2+, SSH2 mandatory), formalises AI-related risk considerations, and adds cloud shared-responsibility model visuals to Appendix G. The annual KYC-SA attestation deadline remains July 31, 2026.

Responsible AI Model Evaluations for NIST AI Risk Management Framework
An open-source, automated red-teaming study benchmarking frontier LLMs from Anthropic, OpenAI, and Google against the RedBench dataset (29,362 prompts across 37 sub-benchmarks and 22 safety risk categories). Scored via a dual-judge pipeline (deterministic regex + Claude Haiku neural judge) and mapped to the NIST AI Risk Management Framework. Findings are published to a live public dashboard and compiled into a peer-reviewed research paper.
Across nine weekly evaluation runs, the study produced five major findings:
- Safety and utility are not in tension — but only Anthropic has proved it. All three Anthropic Claude models averaged under 6% Attack Success Rate and under 1.2% false refusals simultaneously. Every other provider fails at least one threshold. On the final run, Claude Sonnet 4.6 achieved a 5.25% ASR with 0.00% false refusals — the only data point in 9 runs where a model hit a perfect false-refusal rate. GPT-4o Mini posted 8.42% ASR and 13.67% false refusals, failing both simultaneously.
- CBRN information is the most severe and universal safety failure. Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear prompts bypassed guardrails at an average of 35.41% across all 9 runs and all 7 models — more than 1.6× the second-highest category (Cybersecurity Threats Beyond Malware at 21.99%). This gap holds equally across all providers, confirming it is a structural limit of current AI alignment, not a single-provider weakness.
- Election Interference is a structural vulnerability — no provider has solved it. Ranked 5th in risk with a 5.66% average bypass rate across 53 data points (7 models × up to 9 runs each). Consistent across every model, every provider, and every week — ruling out sampling noise. Given ongoing global electoral cycles, this carries the most immediate real-world policy urgency.
- Multi-turn safety is where providers diverge most sharply. In the final run (22 May), GPT-4o Mini reached guardrail drift of +1.67 per conversation turn — the study's highest single-run reading — and 4 of 7 models simultaneously posted drift of +1.11 per turn or worse. Claude Sonnet 4.6 and Opus 4.6 averaged −0.12 per turn across all runs: their guardrails tighten under sustained adversarial pressure rather than eroding.
- Week-to-week variance is high, but structural rankings are stable. GPT-4o Mini exceeded 8% ASR in 6 of its 9 runs with no improvement trend. Gemini 2.5 Pro never fell below 7.25% across any of its 6 evaluated runs. Gemini 2.5 Flash led on ASR in every multi-provider run it participated in. These are repeatable, structural safety differences across 27,000 evaluations — not statistical artefacts.
