Security compliance in Europe is no longer optional it directly impacts customer trust, legal exposure, and business continuity, as Anzhela Pozdniakova, Chief of Product at Xpand Portal, explores in this article. Leaders are increasingly expected to understand not just the rules, but who is responsible for meeting them.
The key principle: security is a shared responsibility. Some controls belong to the infrastructure or hosting provider, some to the product vendor, some to the customer organization. The exact split depends on the deployment model – in SaaS, more operational responsibility usually sits with the provider; in self-hosted environments, more remains with the customer or hosting partner.

Four years have passed. Four years that have held more within them than an entire decade sometimes does. And yet – today marks four years of full-scale invasion, but Ukraine has been at war with russian aggression for twelve. Twelve years. Nearly twice as long as World War II lasted. Some wars are measured in history books. This one is still being measured in losses, in courage, and in the stubborn will to keep going.
