Cyb3r Operations

For Governance, Risk and Compliance

Evidence that updates itself. Frameworks that map themselves. Audits that aren't a fire drill.

Continuous, framework-mapped, multi-framework third-party evidence — built for the GRC team that's tired of chasing PDFs.

From the field

Half our team's time disappears into questionnaires that go stale before they're filed. Continuous evidence is the only way out.

Head of GRC · EU Financial Services

The problem

Survey-led GRC cannot keep up with framework expansion or the audit market.

GRC teams are drowning in framework expansion (DORA, NIS2, ISO 27001:2022, NIST CSF 2.0, SOC 2, PCI DSS 4.0) and supplier scope creep, while producing evidence the auditor doesn't believe and the regulator no longer accepts.

Annual questionnaire cycles eat 30 to 50 percent of the team's capacity and produce stale attestations. Framework mapping lives in spreadsheets that drift inside a quarter, and audit prep becomes a panic exercise hunting down emails, screenshots, and questionnaire responses from 2023.

Today's reality

  • ·30 to 50 percent of team time chasing questionnaires
  • ·Framework mappings that drift inside a quarter
  • ·Audit prep as a panic fire drill
  • ·GRC stuck chasing PDFs, not advising on controls

Why now

Framework expansion is faster than headcount growth.

DORA

Explicit third-party ICT risk management with auditable evidence expectations.

NIS2

Supply chain security obligations, evidence-heavy and increasingly tested.

ISO 27001:2022

Transition deadline Oct 2025. Supplier relationships clauses A.5.19 to A.5.22 sharpened.

NIST CSF 2.0

Feb 2024. Explicit Govern function elevating third-party and supply chain.

PCI DSS 4.0

Full enforcement Mar 2025. Third-party service provider expectations expanded.

Audit market

Big 4 now actively test supplier-evidence freshness in opinion fieldwork.

What changes

What changes with Cyb3r Operations.

Continuous, framework-mapped evidence.

Every signal mapped to controls in DORA, NIS2, ISO 27001:2022, SOC 2, NIST CSF 2.0, and PCI DSS 4.0. Covered by default.

Evidence freshness an auditor accepts.

Outside-in, continuously refreshed. Never "we sent them a questionnaire 11 months ago."

One library, many frameworks.

Map a single piece of evidence to multiple framework requirements. Stop duplicating work.

Audit-ready bundles on demand.

Pull the evidence pack for any control, any framework, any vendor, in minutes.

From questionnaire chaser to risk adviser.

Free the team from chasing PDFs. Give them time on the controls that actually move risk.

Defensible against the next framework.

Continuous architecture means new framework requirements map to existing evidence, not a new questionnaire wave.

Framework coverage

Continuous evidence mapped to every framework you report against.

One signal can satisfy a DORA obligation, an ISO control, and a SOC 2 criterion at the same time.

Frequently asked

Questions GRC teams ask in the first conversation.

DORA, NIS2, ISO 27001:2022, SOC 2, NIST CSF 2.0, PCI DSS 4.0, FedRAMP. New frameworks added as the regulatory landscape evolves; your existing evidence maps automatically.

Each clause has a built-in mapping. Outside-in evidence satisfies A.5.21 (supplier monitoring) and A.5.22 (changes to supplier services) without supplier engagement.

Yes. One supplier risk signal can satisfy a DORA Article 28 obligation, an ISO A.5.21 control, and a SOC 2 CC9.2 criterion at the same time.

Big 4 increasingly want evidence dated within the audit period. Cyb3r Operations evidence is continuously refreshed, so freshness is never a question. Pull on demand and it's current.

Cyb3r Operations is the third-party assurance and evidence layer. Most GRC teams deploy us underneath their existing platform rather than replacing it.

A scoped bundle: control objective, mapped frameworks, evidence type, last-refreshed timestamp, and the underlying signal data. Generated in minutes, ready for the auditor's working papers.

Get started

Three steps to audit-ready evidence.

Step 01

30-minute walkthrough

We map our evidence to your top three frameworks (e.g. DORA, ISO 27001:2022, SOC 2) on your own supplier sample.

Step 02

Audit-readiness scoring

Pick a supplier. See the evidence pack we can produce today vs the one you have now.

Step 03

Pilot against one upcoming attestation

Use Cyb3r Operations as the third-party assurance layer for the next SOC 2, ISO, or DORA cycle.
