    Banks asked to prove AI agents during exams

    Banking regulators are now asking banks during examinations to produce decision logs, approval records and governance documentation for AI agents. Banks that can't demonstrate auditability face immediate supervisory consequences.

    Why it matters for evidence: Article 12 requires automatic logging. DORA requires logs protected against tampering. Together they mean: keep logs, and prove they hold up.

    Sweden's Cybersecurity Act starts 15 January

    Sweden's Cybersecurity Act enters into force on 15 January 2026. From 1 July 2026, essential and important entities must report incidents within 24 hours and file a detailed report within 72 hours.

    Why it matters for evidence: The law wants reports within 24 hours. A sealed timeline of when you knew, and what you did, makes that straightforward.

    Why it matters for evidence: Article 26 says users must monitor AI, keep logs for six months and explain decisions. Without records, those duties are just words.
