Cybersecurity, governance, and risk work all run on acronyms. Some are international standards, some are EU directives, some are statistical methods, and some are job titles. The same letters can mean different things across these domains, which is the main reason this section exists: a single place to confirm what a term refers to in the way Askara Solutions uses it. The full list lives across the other categories too. The entries grouped here are the ones whose acronym form is more common in practice than their spelled-out name.
