On October 21, 2025, the New York State Department of Financial Services (NYDFS) released comprehensive guidance for registrants regarding management of cybersecurity risks associated with third-party service providers (TPSPs) including cloud computing, file transfer system, AI and fintech solutions.[1] As reliance on external vendors for critical technology services grows, so too do the cyber threats to operations and sensitive customer data. The guidance clarifies regulatory expectations, highlights best practices, and underscores the importance of robust third-party risk management throughout the entire vendor relationship lifecycle.

On 19 November 2025, the European Commission (“Commission”) officially presented its Digital Omnibus Package (see here and here). The initiative represents a comprehensive update to the EU’s digital regulatory landscape, which the Commission frames as a competitiveness and simplification initiative aimed at reducing administrative burdens and enhancing legal certainty for businesses. Although the final text is likely to evolve during negotiations with the European Parliament and the Council of the EU (“Council”), the package, if adopted in its present form, would introduce significant changes to data protection obligations, cookie rules, cybersecurity regulations and the EU AI Act.
The Digital Omnibus Package consists of two proposed regulations: a “Digital Omnibus” that would amend, amongst other legislation, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), ePrivacy Directive, NIS2 Directive and Data Act, and a “Digital Omnibus on AI” that would amend the EU AI Act. We outline below key proposals from the Digital Omnibus that have particular significance for organizations operating in the EU.
A summary of amendments affecting the Data Act and the key proposals in the Digital Omnibus on AI will be addressed in subsequent blog posts.
