Civil society organisations (#CSOs) are under attack across Europe and America.

The #EU must act now to defend them and safeguard #democracy.

Transparency drives accountability.

In our response to the EU’s consultation on the #DSA Delegated Regulation, we focused on:

1️⃣ Preventing law enforcement misuse by excluding them as vetted researchers

2️⃣ Enabling #CSOs (incl. non-EU) through collaborative applications

3️⃣ Ensuring robust, detailed, & updated #data inventories

These steps will protect rights & empower meaningful research.

🟢 Throwback to #EUTechSociety Summit.

Our roundtable on EU institutions engaging with #CSOs noted progress by the EU Commission, but stressed that more needs to be done to foster meaningful collaboration beyond just checking civil society participation off a list.

EU can enhance CSOs' impact by providing feedback on their work, especially for those lacking direct access, this guidance is crucial.

Special thanks to all partners and @edri 💙

Congrats, you got the new CISO role. Now what?

Whether you’re a brand new #CISO or have been one for 10+ years, you need a 90-day plan. In part one of How to CISO in the Cloud, I outline the current state of cloud security risks and share how to look at your organization from the inside out:
