Ensuring robust network security compliance is a top priority for all organisations—especially SMEs and regulated industries in the UK and Europe. With regulations like ISO 27001, Cyber Essentials and the upcoming DORA, you need more than detection. You need a fully managed, compliance-driven defence plan.

In this post, we’ll compare a leading NDR solution with PrimoConnect Cyber Shield. You’ll see how our holistic approach bridges gaps, reduces risk and keeps you compliant.

Why Network Security Compliance Matters

Regulators and customers demand proof.
Breach? Non-compliance fines.
Reputation? Instantly at stake.

• DORA brings fresh rules for financial firms in 2025.
• The healthcare and legal sectors face strict data-protection laws.
• Ransomware victims rose by 128% from 2022 to 2023.

To meet these challenges, you need more than alerts—you need end-to-end management of security and network security compliance.

Comparing PrimoConnect vs. Leading NDR Solutions

Many teams turn to NDR tools like Darktrace / NETWORK for AI-powered detection. Let’s weigh the strengths and spot the blind spots.

Darktrace / NETWORK: Strengths and Limitations

Strengths:
– Self-Learning AI analyses traffic in real time.
– Broad coverage: on-prem, cloud, hybrid, OT and remote endpoints.
– Autonomous response with open APIs and SIEM integrations.

Limitations:
– Global cloud processing can raise privacy concerns.
– Alert fatigue due to broad anomaly detection.
– Works reactively—focuses on network threats, not full compliance.
– Lacks integrated penetration testing or staff training.
– No cloud-infrastructure design for secure deployments.
