Issue 4 of The Compliance Brief was published on September 1, 2026. One of its 5 stories bears on the controls a SOC 2 audit tests, and they are below in short form. The full issue, with every take in full, is on traztech.ca.

CISA added three actively exploited vulnerabilities to the Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalogue: an ownCloud authentication flaw, an unspecified Linux kernel issue, and a path traversal issue in JFrog Artifactory. The catalogue is tied to CISA's binding directive on prioritizing security updates by risk for federal agencies.

Our take, in short

Artifactory is the interesting one for this audience because it usually sits inside the build environment with credentials to everything downstream. You are not a US federal agency, but plenty of your customers now write KEV remediation timelines into their vendor contracts, and auditors have started asking how you learn a KEV entry exists at all.
