The Hidden Audit Gap – Why Wireless Evidence Is Becoming a Boardroom Issue

Date: August 11 2025 The Hidden Audit Gap – Why Wireless Evidence Is Becoming a Boardroom Issue
Author: Airlock Sentinel Editorial Team

When auditors and regulators talk about “complete evidence,” most organizations think of firewall logs, endpoint detections, and SIEM dashboards. Yet a critical domain remains almost completely unchecked — the wireless airspace surrounding the organization.

Every modern office is saturated with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth signals: employee phones, guest devices, IoT sensors, and sometimes rogue transmitters. Despite this, few institutions can produce a verifiable record of what occurred in their local RF environment during a security event.

This is the wireless evidence gap, and it’s rapidly attracting attention from compliance frameworks like PCI DSS v4.0, HIPAA, and SOC 2.

Airlock Sentinel was created to close that gap. Our system provides continuous, tamper-evident logging of wireless and BLE activity, converting the invisible spectrum into audit-ready data.
For boards and compliance leaders, that means a defensible record of oversight — proof that the organization monitored the entire perimeter, not just its wired infrastructure.

In an era when regulators increasingly expect proof, not promises, wireless evidence is poised to become a standard control. Those who adopt it early will lead the next compliance evolution.

Incident Compliance – Turning Breach Response into Boardroom Defense

Every breach sparks the same question from regulators and insurers alike: “What steps did management take to ensure the incident could not recur?”
For many organizations, the answer is incomplete — because it stops at software patches and policy updates, while the wireless environment remains unverified.

Post-incident remediation now demands demonstrable monitoring — audit-ready logs that prove ongoing diligence.
Without continuous RF evidence, a company cannot fully attest to containment. Rogue access points, BLE beacons, and residual devices often persist unnoticed, leaving a compliance exposure that can undermine insurance claims or regulatory defense.

Airlock Sentinel transforms post-incident monitoring into a forensic-grade compliance record, giving executives a tangible demonstration of corrective action.
Our approach aligns with OSFI Guideline B-13, FFIEC CAT, and ISO 27001 continuous-monitoring expectations, providing documentation that stands up to auditors, regulators, and insurers alike.

The result: a stronger posture, cleaner audit reports, and renewed trust from stakeholders.

British government unveils long-awaited landmark cybersecurity bill

​

Date: November 13th 2025

After more than four years of development and multiple delays, the British government on Wednesday introduced its landmark Cyber Security and Resilience Bill to Parliament, threatening large fines for companies that fail to protect themselves from cyberattacks.

The proposed law would, at its core, require a wider range of organizations working within critical infrastructure and essential services sectors to follow improved cybersecurity standards. It would apply to organizations in sectors including energy, transport, healthcare, and water, and to an expanded number of digital infrastructure providers such as data centers and certain IT companies.

The previous version of those standards, under the Network & Information Systems (NIS) Regulations 2018, were seen as insufficient to tackle what intelligence officials described as the growing threat posed by financially-motivated hackers and hostile foreign states.

Recorded Future News understands the draft bill is substantially identical to one prepared in 2022 under the government of Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, when the laws were prematurely described as “updated” despite the then-government failing to actually introduce them to Parliament. 

It was delayed again in September when Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s government had planned to introduce its bill to the House of Commons before it was put on hold amid a cabinet reshuffle of senior and junior ministers.

Now given its first full reading, the draft bill sees the government attempt to negotiate two conflicting political priorities in promoting economic growth by reducing the regulatory burden on businesses, and by tackling the negative economic impacts of cyberattacks. 

Published alongside the bill are several new government-sponsored research papers into the economic impact of those attacks, which found that incidents affecting individual businesses are potentially costing the British economy £14.7 billion ($19.3 billion) annually, equivalent to around 0.5% of the country’s gross domestic product, while the cyber-enabled theft of intellectual property from the country could be costing up to 0.3% of GDP per year.

The total cost to business of implementing the Cyber Security and Resilience Bill is estimated to be up to £590 million (about $775 million) — equivalent to around 0.00022% of GDP.
