Compliance drift report

Compliance drift report, September 2026: 35 of the top 2,000 vendors carry a lapsed PCI DSS row, BAA coverage and registry mix across 7,301 vendors

Figures as of 30 Sep 2026 · generated 3 Oct 2026 · closed month

This report reads the CertReports index as of 30 Sep 2026: 13,399 public evidence rows across 7,301 B2B software vendors, drawn from 10 sources. It measures drift: how much public compliance evidence lapsed, how old it is, and how coverage differs by framework and category. Every figure below is computed from stored rows, dated, and reproducible.

Lapse rates by framework

A row lapses when its own evidence says so: a certificate expiry, a report period plus twelve months, a registry usage end date, a registry validation date plus twelve months, or a dated registry withdrawal. Active rows are verified or stated rows whose date has not passed. Registry records marked inactive that carry no date at all (3,461 rows, almost all historical Data Privacy Framework and Privacy Shield participants) are counted separately and left out of every lapse share, because they describe the list's history rather than drift in the period.

The top 2,000 vendors

The 2,000 highest-demand vendors in the catalogue (1,981 active) are the ones most reviews touch. This table asks a narrower question than the one above: how many of them carry at least one lapsed row per framework.

Evidence age

Days between the capture date of each row and 30 Sep 2026. Registries are re-read nightly, so registry rows stay young; vendor-stated rows age until the page is captured again.

Drift index

The drift index is the number of rows that lapsed or were removed in a month per 1,000 active rows. It is the time series behind the change log; the first observed month is September 2026, when the index went live, so the series is short and will lengthen with each report.

Trust reports behind the numbers

No high-demand vendor's evidence lapsed in September 2026. These are the highest-demand vendors with evidence due to lapse within 90 days of 30 Sep 2026. Each card is read live from the index, so it shows any renewal captured after the report was generated; the caption keeps the fact the report counted.
