arXiv:2610.32690v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: To automatically check for compliance with security-related standards, prose requirements must be translated to technical properties to make them measurable. A multitude of metrics have been proposed in past literature, but they are lacking a systematic methodology for their elicitation. Without such a methodology, metrics remain inconsistent in their data models and abstraction levels, they exhibit considerable overlaps and are difficult to combi

Editorial Analysis

Why it matters

European enterprises preparing for NIS2 and DORA need scalable, repeatable compliance verification; formalised security metrics reduce audit subjectivity and manual effort.

What to do

Pilot automated compliance-metric mapping on one regulation (e.g., NIS2 Annex requirements) to assess feasibility before broader rollout.

Board brief

Automating compliance measurement against EU security standards can reduce audit costs and improve assurance consistency.
