The problem

Executive teams at firms operating across multiple jurisdictions face overlapping and sometimes conflicting incident-handling, breach-notification, and operational-resilience obligations. Regulators no longer accept “we have a policy” — they expect concrete tooling, immutable evidence, and a demonstrable ability to recover. The gap is rarely intent; it is the absence of an auditable, multi-jurisdiction control surface that survives the failure of any single provider, region, or individual.

Mapped to your obligations

Each card pairs what the regulation requires with what Glassbreak supplies. Grouped by jurisdiction so a multi-region programme can see the full coverage at a glance.

EU5 regimes
DORA

Digital Operational Resilience Act

Required

In force Jan 2025. Documented ICT incident management, major-incident classification + reporting, recovery procedures, third-party ICT risk evidence, and structured lessons-learned for financial entities and their critical providers.

Glassbreak supplies

Tamper-evident incident timeline, role-based escalation playbooks, exportable post-incident reviews, and a per-credential audit trail. The artefacts a DORA reviewer asks for.

NIS2

NIS2 — Network and Information Security Directive

Required

Cybersecurity and incident-handling obligations on operators of essential services and important entities. Multi-cloud redundancy, continuity of operations, and auditable incident handling are explicit themes.

Glassbreak supplies

State distributed across independent providers with no shared failure domains; every incident step captured for the competent authority. Outage of any one cloud or CDN does not interrupt break-glass recovery.

GDPR

GDPR — General Data Protection Regulation

Required

Articles 33 / 34: notify the supervisory authority within 72 hours; notify high-risk affected data subjects without undue delay. Auditable access trails for personal data; controller / processor split; data-residency on demand.

Glassbreak supplies

Immutable access logs, explicit controller / processor model, and the EU-pure glassbreak.cloud vertical (no US compute, no US data transit) for customers with data-residency requirements.

EU CRA

Cyber Resilience Act — products with digital elements

Required

Phased in from 2024–27. Manufacturers must maintain a vulnerability handling process, deliver security updates, and report actively exploited vulnerabilities to ENISA within 24h. Customers asking for CRA evidence from their suppliers in turn.

PCI DSS 4.0

PCI DSS 4.0

Required

Cardholder data environment must enforce access controls, audit logging, vulnerability management, and breach response. v4.0 future-dated requirements effective March 2025.

Glassbreak supplies

Glassbreak does not store cardholder data, but the access control + audit logs satisfy the related Requirement 7, 8, and 10 controls for in-scope operators.

What leadership teams actually get

Not a policy doc — a working platform that produces the artefacts.

One control surface

The same access, approval, and audit primitives satisfy DORA, NIS2, GDPR, SEC 1.05, HIPAA, APRA, MAS, and ISO / SOC 2 evidence requests.

Provable redundancy

Independent verticals on AWS (us-east-1) and Scaleway (fr-par), with Fly.io planned. No shared failure domains for DNS, CDN, or database.

Data residency by domain

Route EU-resident customers through the EU-pure glassbreak.cloud vertical when regulators or contracts require it. End-to-end EU stack.

Disclosure-ready timelines

Every action logged with cryptographic integrity, exportable for the board, auditors, or supervisory authorities. No reconstruction under pressure.

Zero-knowledge by design

Glassbreak cannot decrypt your content. AES-256 + RSA-4096 + Kyber1024 hybrid on-device. Removes whole classes of supplier-risk and lawful-access questions.

No vendor lock to one cloud

Each vertical owns its own database. A provider outage, a sovereignty change, or a billing dispute does not strand your incident response.

Start mapping your obligations

Free tier supports one team and up to five members — enough to evaluate the audit trail, escalation flow, and the cross-jurisdiction disclosure workspace before talking to your compliance team.

Glassbreak does not provide legal advice. The mapping above describes the technical and operational artefacts the platform can produce; customers should consult qualified counsel and their compliance functions to confirm how those artefacts apply to their specific regulatory regime and circumstances.
