Demystifying security compliance in Europe: what leaders need to know
Security compliance in Europe is no longer optional it directly impacts customer trust, legal exposure, and business continuity, as Anzhela Pozdniakova, Chief of Product at Xpand Portal , explores in this article. Leaders are increasingly expected to understand not just the rules, but who is responsible for meeting them.
The key principle : security is a shared responsibility. Some controls belong to the infrastructure or hosting provider, some to the product vendor, some to the customer organization. The exact split depends on the deployment model – in SaaS, more operational responsibility usually sits with the provider; in self-hosted environments, more remains with the customer or hosting partner.
For leaders, the goal is not to become security experts. The goal is to know which questions to ask, who owns each area, and whether responsibilities are clearly understood. Below are the key compliance areas in plain terms, organized by what infrastructure and product teams are each expected to cover.

2016 → 2026 → 2036: from 'Can the ERP do this?' to 'Just make it happen'
If you worked with the Microsoft Dynamics NAV ecosystem around 2016, you probably remember a certain weight that came with ERP projects. NAV was powerful, stable, and endlessly customizable – but it often felt like a system you had to adapt your business around, or pay to adapt the system to your needs. Today, Dynamics 365 Business Central looks like a different product entirely: cloud-based, modular, API-oriented, easier to update, and increasingly AI-assisted. And if you follow that trajectory another decade forward, the direction is clear: ERP won't disappear, but the amount of manual work surrounding it will keep shrinking. People will spend less time executing processes and more time making decisions. Let’s walk the timeline.

Living, working, staying strong: our four years of full-scale war
On February 24, 2022, at 5 AM, many of us woke up to sounds we had never heard before – or to messages we desperately didn't want to believe. That morning drew a line between everything that came before and everything that followed. Not just for the country, but for each of us personally. The first hours were filled with fear and confusion. Then came decisions. Where to go, how to help, what to do next. And somewhere in the middle of that chaos, one thing became clear: stopping was not an option. Not because we had to keep going, but because continuing to live, to work, to build - that itself was the answer to everything happening around us. Four years have passed. Four years that have held more within them than an entire decade sometimes does. And yet – today marks four years of full-scale invasion, but Ukraine has been at war with russian aggression for twelve. Twelve years. Nearly twice as long as World War II lasted. Some wars are measured in history books. This one is still being measured in losses, in courage, and in the stubborn will to keep going. This is not a report, and it's not a timeline of events. It's a story about people - about how our company and every Ukrainian have lived through these four years, through loss and joy, through anxiety and hope.
