Trends in Security Information
The HSD Trendmonitor is designed to provide access to relevant content on various subjects in the safety and security domain, to identify relevant developments and to connect knowledge and organisations. The safety and security domain encompasses a vast number of subjects. Four relevant taxonomies (type of threat or opportunity, victim, source of threat and domain of application) have been constructed in order to visualize all of these subjects. The taxonomies and related category descriptions have been carefully composed according to other taxonomies, European and international standards and our own expertise.
In order to identify safety and security related trends, relevant reports and HSD news articles are continuously scanned, analysed and classified by hand according to the four taxonomies. This results in a wide array of observations, which we call ‘Trend Snippets’. Multiple Trend Snippets combined can provide insights into safety and security trends. The size of the circles shows the relative weight of the topic, the filters can be used to further select the most relevant content for you. If you have an addition, question or remark, drop us a line at info@securitydelta.nl.

Audit and compliance activities will increase to ensure protection against insider threats
4. A Closer Eye on Audit
Investor scrutiny is apt to increase and, as a result, so will audit and compliance activities to ensure investors that controls to protect against insider threats are effective and that financial statements are accurate. This closer examination of risks and controls stems from the surge of remote workers, the conditions for potential growth in fraud cases and unsteady revenue growth. Stakeholders will want added assurance that financial statements have not been altered or numbers manipulated. They will also want better risk management data and the peace of mind that assets are protected from external and internal threats equally.
Organizations will want to make sure they have robust segregation of duties, risk analysis and reporting tools to provide rapid insights to catch and remediate risks. To accommodate remote work and reduced budgets, cloud solutions for this work will be more in demand.
Although there are a few months left in 2020, we have learned enough from this year about what to expect and how to plan and be better prepared going into 2021.
