Cybersecurity as an Audit Mandate: The Topical Requirement Caribbean Firms Can’t Ignore

July 19, 2026by Dr Dawkins Brown

For years, cybersecurity occupied a strange place on Caribbean audit plans: acknowledged as important, deferred as specialist, and scoped down to whatever the function felt qualified to look at — usually access forms and password policies. The Global Internal Audit Standards have ended that accommodation. Cybersecurity is the subject of the first Topical Requirement —...

Why Caribbean organizations must secure the AI, govern the agent, and assure the outcome EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Artificial intelligence has moved from pilot projects into the operational core of Caribbean enterprises — into finance, customer engagement, compliance, procurement, and decision-making itself.

The Perimeter Is Not Where You Think It Is: Third Parties, External Lingerers, and What the Caribbean SMB Inherits from Its Suppliers

May 19, 2026by Dr Dawkins Brown

Pillar 2 has so far treated the firm as a closed system: its own posture, its own access, its own data, its own recovery. That treatment is editorially useful but operationally incomplete. In practice, the Caribbean SMB’s data sits on three or four cloud platforms it does not control, is processed by a dozen suppliers...

Almost every Caribbean SMB will tell you it has backups. Very few have ever successfully restored one.

Identity and Access Management for the Caribbean SMB

May 19, 2026by Dr Dawkins Brown

Article 2.1 of this series named four cybersecurity postures and asked every Caribbean board to choose one consciously. This article begins the substantive work of moving from any of the lesser postures toward Posture D — and starts where every meaningful improvement starts: with the question of who has access to what, how that gets...

The Caribbean Cybersecurity Posture: Beyond Antivirus

May 18, 2026by Dr Dawkins Brown

Pillar 1 of this series asked Caribbean boards to put their digital foundations in order. Pillar 2 begins from the assumption that they have, and asks the question that immediately follows: what is the firm actually defending those foundations against, and from what posture? “We have antivirus and the staff don’t open suspicious emails” is...
