Strategic alliance combines PwC Italy’s advisory expertise with Coro’s AI-native cybersecurity platform to help organizations democratize cybersecurity and meet evolving regulatory requirements
NEW YORK, July 23, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Coro, the leading cybersecurity platform purpose-built for organizations with Lean IT teams, today announced a strategic partnership with PwC Italy. The partnership aims to help organizations located in Italy automate and democratize cybersecurity operations while meeting regulatory requirements, like NIS2, and bring accessible protection and regulatory compliance to organizations of all sizes.
The partnership arrives as NIS2, the EU's directive aimed at strengthening cybersecurity across 18 sectors deemed critical to the European economy, from energy and healthcare to digital infrastructure and public administration, reshapes the regulatory landscape for an estimated 160,000 organizations across the EU. According to the European Union Agency for Cybersecurity (ENISA), “70% of organizations now cite regulatory compliance as the primary driver behind their cybersecurity investment, signaling a broader shift toward cybersecurity platforms that can deliver both operational simplicity and regulatory readiness.”1.
Through the partnership, PwC Italy's Cybersecurity and Resilience practice will work alongside Coro's unified, AI-native platform to give organisations located in Italy a clearer path to compliance, combining regulatory expertise with a platform built to consolidate the fragmented tools that often slow compliance efforts down. Rather than managing security and compliance as separate workstreams, organizations gain a single, automated foundation that satisfies NIS2 requirements while reducing the operational overhead of maintaining multiple disconnected systems.
"Organizations today don't need more security tools; they need security that's easier to operate," said Ingo Schaefer, Vice President of EMEA at Coro. "As cybersecurity and regulatory compliance become increasingly interconnected, businesses are looking for solutions that strengthen protection without adding operational complexity. Together with PwC Italy, we're helping organizations move beyond reactive security and toward a more unified, resilient approach that's built for the future of cybersecurity."
"Our clients are facing an increasingly complex regulatory environment, and they need practical, effective solutions to stay protected," said Mauro Felice, Partner at PwC Italy. "Partnering with Coro allows us to provide businesses with an advanced, automated security platform that not only strengthens their cyber resilience but significantly simplifies the NIS2 compliance process. Together, we are helping organisations reduce their operational burdens while ensuring top-tier protection."
