Trust is no longer enough
Virtual Briefing — 5 November 2026, 10am
What IT leaders told us about cybersecurity assurance, supplier accountability and operational risk
Most organisations place enormous trust in their technology providers. But how much of that trust is backed by independent evidence? This discussion will explore what you should expect from technology partners in an era of growing cyber risk, regulatory scrutiny and operational dependence on outsourced services.
We'll examine why increasing numbers of organisations are seeking second opinions on security advice, what meaningful assurance actually looks like, and the practical steps IT leaders can take to improve governance, accountability and visibility across their technology estate.
This session will challenge you to consider a simple but increasingly important question: Do clients and providers know the limits of their agreements?
