Maus Coex Capital Champions Surety Bonds as Crucial Safeguards in Modern Finance
VANCOUVER, B.C. – In today's volatile global economy, surety bonds are no longer just tools for large contractors—they are the foundation of commercial trust, regulatory compliance, and international contract enforcement.
Maus Coex Capital, a premier global financial advisory firm, is in charge of redefining the strategic use of sureties and financial guarantees across industries and continents.
'With rising risk and regulatory demands, surety bonds have become critical infrastructure for financial reliability,' said Rohan Ellis, Senior Partner at Maus Coex Capital. 'We provide sophisticated, multi-jurisdictional solutions that protect public projects, private enterprise, and investor capital.'
Why Surety Bonds Matter in 2025
In simple terms, a surety bond is a three-party agreement in which a surety (often a licensed financial institution or insurer) guarantees that a principal (e.g., a business or contractor) will fulfill an obligation to an obligee (e.g., a government agency or project owner). If the principal fails to meet its responsibilities, the surety steps in financially and operationally.
Unlike traditional insurance, sureties are not designed to pay out—they are intended to prevent failure through deep due diligence, contract structuring, and risk assessment. If a claim is paid, the surety is entitled to full reimbursement from the principal.
2025 Market Trends Driving Surety Growth Global Infrastructure Boom : With over $2.6 trillion earmarked for global public works through 2026, sureties are required in 83% of RFPS for roads, hospitals, transit, and utilities.

KONTAKTUM (former Berger Kommunkation) launches SignalDesk to Power Europe's Top Wellness Brands
By GlobeNewswire Published on June 1, 2025, 22:56 IST BERLIN, June 01, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — After more than 15 years operating quietly under the name BERGER KOMMUNIKATION, one of Europe's most trusted backend communication infrastructures has officially rebranded and relaunched as KONTAKTUM. KONTAKTUM will now operate independently, with a sharpened focus on the wellness and health supplement industry across the EU. The new identity reflects the company's deep specialization in backend revenue systems — from multilingual customer support to advanced sales reactivation flows — for brands that ship thousands of units daily across Europe. While BERGER KOMMUNIKATION built its name in high-performance outbound operations, KONTAKTUM expands the model into a more modern, full-stack backend solution. That includes welcome call systems, cart recovery outreach, localized reactivation campaigns, and multilingual voice support — all designed to improve customer lifetime value (LTV) without disrupting frontend operations. 'Most brands focus on acquisition,' says a KONTAKTUM team lead. 'But the real margin lives in what happens after the sale — and that's exactly where we operate.' The new KONTAKTUM brand brings together years of operational know-how, a fully native-speaking team across 8 European languages, and a distributed team based in Berlin, Paris, Milan, and Barcelona. The company also confirmed the rollout of its proprietary backend management interface, internally known as SignalDesk — a platform that allows wellness brand operators to monitor backend flows, agent performance, and reactivation ROI in real time. This level of visibility is rare in the post-purchase ecosystem, especially in multilingual markets. With GDPR-compliant infrastructure and a white-label approach, KONTAKTUM acts as the invisible layer behind the most profitable wellness brands in the region. Brands remain in full control of the customer experience, while KONTAKTUM ensures that revenue is recovered, retained, and scaled silently in the background. The split from BERGER KOMMUNIKATION also comes with internal expansion: KONTAKTUM now manages over 1.8 million customer records per quarter, and the team has grown by over 60% in the past six months. 'We're not an agency. We're infrastructure,' says the KONTAKTUM operations team. 'That means brands plug us in and see the numbers move — quietly and consistently.' Although no client names have been disclosed, industry insiders confirm KONTAKTUM is currently working with multiple top-5 EU advertisers in the wellness space, handling full backend delivery for both new and recurring customer flows. For wellness brands looking to improve retention, reduce refunds, or build a backend that actually converts — KONTAKTUM appears to be the new name to know.

How to choose the right cybersecurity framework: A guide for mid-market companies
As cyber threats become more sophisticated and regulatory requirements more stringent, companies, especially mid-market, must take a proactive approach to security. Choosing the right cybersecurity framework is a critical step in protecting sensitive data, maintaining compliance and building trust with customers, investors and regulators. However, with so many frameworks available, each with different requirements and industry applications, determining the best fit can be challenging. Understanding cybersecurity frameworks vs security standards Cybersecurity frameworks: Structured sets of best practices and methodologies for managing cybersecurity risks. Helps organizations build a structured approach to security, ensuring that policies, processes and technologies align with industry-recognized standards. Security standards: Defines specific requirements that organizations must meet to achieve compliance. Typically associated with audits, ensuring that an organization meets legal and contractual obligations. Common security standards include HIPAA, PCI DSS and GDPR. While standards ensure compliance with regulatory requirements, frameworks offer strategic guidance for building a resilient security posture. Choosing the right framework ensures a comprehensive approach to cybersecurity that not only satisfies legal requirements but also strengthens overall protection against evolving threats. Key cybersecurity frameworks in 2025 Selecting the best framework depends on your industry, regulatory landscape and business operations. NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) 2.0 Developed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), the NIST CSF 2.0 is a voluntary, risk-based cybersecurity framework focuses on six core functions: govern, identify, protect, detect, respond and recover. It provides a variety of high-level cybersecurity outcomes that organizations can use to understand, assess, prioritize and communicate their cybersecurity efforts more effectively. Best for: Organizations of any size or sector, particularly those looking for a flexible and risk-based approach to managing cybersecurity and aligning with industry standards. ISO/IEC 27001 The ISO/IEC 27001 is an internationally recognized standard for information security management. It provides a structured framework for implementing an Information Security Management System (ISMS), ensuring the confidentiality, integrity and availability of corporate data, including financial information, intellectual property, employee details and third-party managed data. Best for: Organizations of any size or sector, especially those needing a comprehensive ISMS to ensure data protection and demonstrate compliance to international standards. CIS Controls Developed by the Center for Internet Security (CIS), CIS Controls are a structured and simplified set of best practices designed to help organizations strengthen their security posture. Best for: Small to mid-market organizations seeking a simplified, actionable set of cybersecurity best practices to quickly strengthen their security posture with minimal resource investment. CMMC The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) is a unified standard developed by the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) to ensure contractors and subcontractors meet specific cybersecurity practices when handling Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). CMMC integrates various cybersecurity standards and best practices and assigns them across maturity levels, ranging from foundational to advanced. Best for: Defense contractors and subcontractors in the DoD supply chain who must demonstrate compliance with strict cybersecurity requirements to be eligible for government contracts. FedRAMP The Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) provides a standardized approach to security assessment, authorization and continuous monitoring for cloud services used by federal agencies. It ensures that cloud providers meet strict federal security requirements before working with government entities. Best for: Cloud service providers aiming to do business with U.S. federal agencies and needing to prove compliance with federal cybersecurity standards. StateRAMP Modeled after FedRAMP, StateRAMP offers a standardized approach to cybersecurity for state and local governments. It helps ensure that cloud service providers meet consistent security requirements when providing services to government agencies, promoting transparency, verification and trust. Best for: Cloud vendors looking to work with state and local governments that require proven compliance with standardized cybersecurity benchmarks. How to choose the right framework for your business Assess your current security posture Before selecting a new framework, conduct a comprehensive gap assessment to evaluate your institution's existing cybersecurity controls. Identify strengths, pinpoint vulnerabilities and determine where enhancements are needed to align with your chosen framework. Understand your industry requirements Certain frameworks are better suited for meeting industry-specific regulations. Understanding your industry's unique regulatory landscape will help you determine which security frameworks align with these requirements and which ones are most effective for addressing sector-specific risks. Consider business goals and objectives When selecting a security framework, it's important to align your choice with your company's broader business objectives. For example, with the FFIEC Cybersecurity Assessment Tool being phased out, financial institutions may consider adopting ISO 27001 to enhance their cybersecurity posture and build credibility with investors and regulators. Additionally, if your organization is focused on streamlining compliance processes or reducing the burden of managing multiple audits, a consolidated compliance framework, combining assessments like NIST, ISO, PCI DSS, HITRUST and/or SOC 2, can help alleviate audit fatigue and ensure consistent, efficient compliance across various regulatory requirements. Real-world example: For companies navigating a complex landscape of regulatory requirements, working with multiple providers testing the same controls can strain internal resources. Learn how FD's Consolidated Compliance Assessment Program helped a leading global payments technology company streamline compliance, exceed regulatory requirements and reduce audit redundancies. Read more here. Engage key stakeholders Cybersecurity is not just an IT concern; it requires collaboration across executive leadership, technology teams, risk and compliance professionals and internal audit. Engaging these stakeholders early ensures alignment on strategic priorities and regulatory expectations. Monitor, validate and adapt Cyber threats and regulatory expectations continue to evolve, making ongoing monitoring essential. Regularly measure progress against targeted cybersecurity maturity levels, reassess risk factors and adjust your strategy as needed. Internal audit should be involved in periodic reviews to validate compliance and readiness for regulatory examinations. Next steps: Strengthening your security posture Choosing the right security framework is more than just a compliance requirement; it's a strategic investment in your company's resilience, reputation and long-term success. As cyber threats grow more sophisticated and regulatory landscapes shift, companies must take a proactive approach to security. By assessing your current security posture, aligning with industry requirements and considering business goals, you can implement a framework that not only meets compliance standards but also strengthens your overall cybersecurity strategy. Navigating these complexities can be challenging, but you don't have to do it alone.
