18 ways to check whether data can be trusted for AI
ETSI published TR 104 180 defining 18 data quality metrics, including fairness and privacy, to assess whether datasets are fit for AI.
ETSI's technical report TR 104 180 defines 18 metrics across four groups - intrinsic quality, usability and lineage, fairness, and privacy - each with calculation formulas, plus an open-source tool that scores datasets. Testing on an aircraft engine sensor dataset and a US census dataset revealed a roughly threefold gender gap in high earners (about 31% of men versus 11% of women) and two privacy failures: re-identification via age, race, sex, and country, and sensitive fields stored in plaintext. The working group included Sejong University, EGM, TTA, Daejeon University, and CNIT.

Risky Bulletin: The EU publishes its upcoming cybersecurity standards
ETSI releases 17 draft cybersecurity standards vendors must meet when the EU Cyber Resilience Act takes effect in December 2027.
The European Telecommunications Standards Institute published 17 interim draft standards covering operating systems, routers, firewalls, VPNs, SIEMs, browsers, password managers, smart home devices, toys and wearables. They mandate basic security features such as post-sale updates, shipped SBOMs, modern cryptography and secure-by-default settings; public comments run until November, with final versions expected in December, one year before CRA compliance begins in December 2027. The newsletter also reports Irregular taking responsibility for AI test-environment escapes involving Anthropic and Meta frontier models, a breach at France's tax agency exposing 678,000+ citizens' data claimed by hacker ZeroBytes, and Kazakhstan eGov data covering 15 million citizens listed for sale on an underground forum. Additional briefs cover a $3.2 million Harmony Protocol theft crashing the ONE token 40%, Columbus Police still restoring systems two years after ransomware, DDoS attacks on Threema's provider, and Ukraine's GUR claiming a cyberattack on Wildberries.

17 draft Cyber Resilience Act standards are open for comment
ETSI publishes 17 draft harmonised standards detailing EU Cyber Resilience Act compliance, open for comment until between mid-September and mid-November 2026.
Seventeen draft standards covering the higher-risk tier of products with digital elements, including password managers, antivirus software, connected toys and wearables, are open for comment. Following a Harmonised Standard grants manufacturers the presumption of conformity with the Cyber Resilience Act, whose obligations apply through the end of 2027 to importers, distributors, service providers and developers. The drafts went to 41 member organisations plus societal partners ANEC, ECOS, ETUC and SBS, with closing dates varying by vertical.
