SUMMARY:Cyber Risk\, Contracts & Compliance Webinar: Strengthening Your Defences in 2026
DESCRIPTION:Manufacturing NI’s webinar “Cyber Risk\, Contracts and Compliance” with Mills Selig outlined the growing legal\, contractual and operational cyber risks facing manufacturers\, and the practical steps businesses can take to strengthen resilience. Aisling highlighted how cyber risk now extends well beyond IT\, with supply-chain exposure\, insider threats\, AI-enabled attacks and evolving UK and EU compliance obligations all increasing pressure on manufacturers to review governance\, contracts and incident response planning.\n\nKey Takeaways\n– Treat cyber risk as a board-level issue that affects contracts\, resilience\, reputation and operations.\n– Review supplier and customer contracts to ensure cyber security obligations\, audit rights and breach notification timelines are clearly defined.\n– Carry out legal and technical gap analyses to identify compliance requirements\, contractual weaknesses and priority risks.\n– Take a proportionate approach by focusing first on personal data\, key systems and higher-risk suppliers.\n– Strengthen governance\, documentation and incident response plans to demonstrate preparedness and reduce regulatory and commercial exposure.\n\n26 Mills Selig – MNI Presentation – RI – FINAL – To Share
