Threats to document security are converging
Compliance and board-level risk is rising. Enterprises today are wrestling with an unprecedented regulatory burden, and boards are treating document security as a material, actionable risk. In the EU for example, GDPR enforcement is intensifying. By March 1, 2025, EU regulators issued approximately €5.7 billion in fines. Organizations that fail to enforce strong compliance frameworks face costs that are 2.7 times higher than maintaining them, through fines, breach fallout, business disruption and lost productivity. Additionally, new regulations that demand more rigorous cyber-risk preparedness and third-party oversight increase compliance burdens. And finally, board oversight is evolving. Generative AI, data transformation and rising cyber threats all landed on boardroom agendas in 2024.
