Cyber Security Rating – a rising challenge for EU industries
As cybersecurity ratings become increasingly influential across industries, it is vital to ensure that they accurately reflect the cyber health of organisations and do not undermine EU businesses
By implementing transparent methodologies, establishing regulatory frameworks and fostering collaboration, the EU can lead the way in creating a reliable and fair cyber rating ecosystem.
Until these measures are in place, cyber ratings should not be included in contracts or binding documents. Instead, they should be used as a tool for dialogue and improvement. The EU has an opportunity to assert its sovereignty in this area and ensure that its industries are fairly represented in an increasingly digital world.
