CalQRisk: A Finalist for the 2025 ECSO Cybersecurity Awards

We are thrilled to announce that we’ve been named a finalist in the ECSO Awards 2025, competing for the highly coveted CISO Choice Award. This recognition, granted by the European Cyber Security Organisation (ECSO), places CalQRisk among Europe’s most promising cybersecurity and compliance solutions.

The ECSO Awards celebrate European cybersecurity providers that drive innovation and contribute to strengthening digital resilience across industries. Being shortlisted is a major achievement, affirming our commitment to helping businesses manage risk, maintain compliance, and navigate evolving regulatory landscapes with confidence.

Why This Recognition Matters

Cybersecurity threats are at an all-time high, and businesses across Europe are under increasing regulatory pressure to ensure compliance with frameworks such as DORA (Digital Operational Resilience Act) and NIS 2 (Network and Information Security Directive 2).
CalQRisk has been at the forefront of this challenge, providing a structured, automated approach to risk management and compliance. Our platform empowers organisations to stay ahead of regulatory requirements, enhance their cybersecurity posture, and improve overall resilience.

Being named a finalist for the CISO Choice Award is particularly meaningful, as it reflects the trust and recognition of industry leaders and security professionals. This award highlights solutions that make a tangible impact on how businesses identify, assess, and mitigate risk in an increasingly complex digital world.

A Testament to Our Mission

Speaking about this recognition, Chris Hanlon, CEO of CalQRisk, stated:

“Being shortlisted for the CISO Choice Award 2025 is a testament to our commitment to delivering cutting-edge compliance solutions that empower businesses to navigate complex regulatory landscapes with confidence. As cybersecurity and regulatory requirements continue to evolve, our software ensures that organisations remain resilient, compliant, and ahead of the curve.”

At CalQRisk, we understand that compliance is more than just a checkbox exercise—it’s about building resilience and protecting businesses from financial, operational, and reputational risks. Our software simplifies complex regulatory requirements, enabling businesses to focus on their core operations while ensuring they meet their compliance obligations.
