How to read this data. Statistics describe populations, reports or incidents using different methodologies. They provide context; they measure neither your organisation's compliance nor its likelihood of suffering an attack.

How it actually unfolds
Organise the review before mobilising the teams.
Workshop on qualifying European relationships, reviewing flows and contracts, then mapping possible impacts with sourced evidence.
Management, sales, legal and technical teams clarify the entities, products, services, data and access actually concerned.
Entity structure, offerings, countries of operation, European clients or prospects, data flows and available contractual documents.
The general qualification precedes the specialised analyses; its depth depends on the number of relationships and jurisdictions to be distinguished.
Review
Separate the channels through which the Union reaches the activity.
Model EU entities and relationships
The structure of entities, contracts and flows makes visible the routes by which a European relationship reaches the business.
Qualify services, products, data and sectors
Products, services, data, access and the principal's sector are qualified separately before any regulatory alignment.
Apply sourced rules
Each rule used retains its official source, its jurisdiction, its status and the date on which it was reviewed.
Identify the limits of the analysis
The deliverable names the assumptions, the topics not covered and the points requiring specialist legal validation.
Handover
The sourced map of exposures and priorities.
Exposure map
The map shows which entities, products, services, data or relationships bring the activity into contact with a European expectation.
Priorities by relationship
Topics are ordered according to the business relationship affected and the decision the company actually needs to make.
Sources and statuses
Each regulatory statement retains its official text, jurisdiction, status and review date.
Legal applicability qualified
Interpretations still open are separated from the technical findings and referred to the competent legal authority.
Scoping the engagement
Map out the avenues of exposure before choosing the priority work.
The entities, target markets, contracts, products and main flows help delimit the exposure pathways that warrant in-depth analysis.
