NIS2, HIPAA, PCI DSS: What compliance means when you can't upgrade your OS
Compliance frameworks don’t have a checkbox for "we know it’s a problem, but we can’t afford to fix it right now." Yet that’s the position thousands of organizations find themselves in — bound by regulation to meet security standards that their operating systems are physically incapable of supporting.
If you run Windows XP, Server 2003, or any other unsupported OS in a regulated environment, the compliance obligation doesn’t go away just because the upgrade path is blocked.

NIS2 Directive: a strong request for better incident handling
Did you know the European Union created a rule called the NIS Directive? This rule was established in 2016 to ensure that all member countries are equally protected against cyber attacks. It’s a step towards making it easier for governments to work together to stop cyber threats. However, the Directive was expected to provide more specific instructions for protecting against attacks and ensuring all countries follow the rule. The rule also requires companies and governments to be better prepared to handle cyber attacks and have a plan in case something goes wrong.
