SHORT · DATED · OFFICIAL SOURCES

October 2026 snapshot, as of 31 October 2026. Next refresh due on or after 28 November 2026.

Short notes that set the 338-domain sample's aggregate figures next to a current regulatory step, such as NIS2 transposition or the UK Cyber Security and Resilience Bill. Each note cites official sources and is re-checked twice a day; a note whose source can no longer be confirmed is taken out of search.
