Why compliance does not always equal resilience. Explore the gap between security on paper and security in practice and how real attackers exploit operational weaknesses.

In this piece, Gavin Wilson argues that workplace activism isn’t something organisations should fear but it does need to be managed. Most employee protest is lawful and often healthy but in sensitive environments strong personal convictions combined with access to systems or data can create real risk. Add in the influence of online narratives and external actors and internal tensions can escalate quickly. His focus is on getting the balance right: allowing open disagreement while tightening access, spotting early behavioural changes and making sure concerns are raised early. Ultimately resilience comes down to whether organisations are prepared for when belief, access and pressure collide.
