We are proud to announce that we have published a white paper in Hedgeweek, one of the leading publications for the alternative investment industry.
Our white paper, The Compliance Treadmill, examines a critical challenge facing regulated firms: the dramatic compression of regulatory response cycles and what it means for compliance teams.
The Core Finding: 69% Less Time to Respond
Our research reveals a striking trend. In 2020, organisations typically had 7-9 months to respond to new regulatory requirements. By 2025, that window has shrunk to just 2-3 months.
Regulatory cycle compression: 69% reduction in response time since 2020
This compression is not slowing down. New frameworks like DORA, NIS2, and the UK Cyber Security and Resilience Bill continue to add requirements while implementation timelines get shorter.
What This Means for Compliance Teams
The traditional approach to compliance, where you assess requirements, plan implementation, hire consultants, and execute over 6-12 months, simply does not work anymore.
Organisations need:
- Continuous visibility into their compliance posture, not annual snapshots
- Automated gap analysis when new requirements emerge
- Pre-built control mappings across multiple frameworks
- Evidence collection that happens as part of daily operations
This is exactly why we built RateYourCyber. Our platform provides multi-framework compliance mapping from a single assessment, covering ISO 27001, NIST CSF, GDPR, DORA, and NIS2. When a new regulation lands, you already know where you stand.

The complete white paper includes detailed analysis of regulatory trends across the EU, UK, and US, along with practical recommendations for building compliance programmes that can keep pace with accelerating requirements.
