Cloud as an IT environment
Just a few years ago, the discussion about the cloud in Polish companies resembled a choice between “I want” and “I don’t want.” Today, looking at the IT landscape in 2026, that question is quite different: “How to do it quickly and securely?”.
If you have been following our posts, you know that in the context of eAuditor cloud we are not afraid of difficult topics. We have written about, why APIs are the foundation of modernity and how we approach data security. Today, let’s take a step back and look at the bigger picture. Because 2026 is when the cloud as an IT environment stopped being a novelty and became the only way to keep pace.
What do the numbers say?
CSO data in recent years has shown steady growth, but it was 2025 that was the breakthrough year. Today, in 2026, more than 60% of medium and large enterprises in Poland are already using cloud services in an advanced way. These are no longer just email boxes or online drives. It’s advanced ERP systems and, above all, IT infrastructure management tools.
Companies have realized that maintaining their own “server rooms under the stairs” is fighting windmills. Energy costs, the lack of specialists in the market and the need to constantly refresh hardware have made On-premise in its classic form simply economically inefficient.
CERT data and the reality of cyber threats
Why has the cloud become a necessity? The answer can be found in CERT Polska’s reports. The number of security incidents is increasing year-on-year by tens of percent. Ransomware attacks, data leaks or software vulnerabilities (such as the memorable CrowdStrike crash or Cloudflare problems, about which we we wrote about here) show one thing:
A single company cannot build such a tight security system as mature cloud providers offer.
In 2026, cyber security is a game of scale. A cloud provider is investing millions in monitoring and redundancy, costs that a single IT department cannot sustain.
NIS2 Directive
If CSO and CERT data don’t convince someone, the regulator does. The NIS2 Directive, implemented by an amendment to the National Cyber Security System Act, has come into full force. For thousands of companies in Poland, this means strict new obligations for incident reporting and supply chain risk management.
In this context, the cloud is not just a technology, it is a regulatory fuse. By using certified SaaS solutions, organizations “inherit” some of the vendor’s security standards, making it dramatically easier to meet regulatory requirements.

Infrastructure is not a cost – it’s resilience
It’s time to change the optics. For years, IT was seen as a cost in an Excel table. Today, mature organizations know that modern infrastructure is part of business resilience.
What does this mean in practice? It’s a company’s ability to survive failures, scale quickly and protect its most valuable asset – its data. A mature SaaS architecture is not just an “application in a browser.” It is:
- Full redundancy (backups in multiple locations).
- API (easy integration with other systems).
- Automatic updates (you always work on the most secure version).
Towards an eAuditor cloud
Observing these market shifts, we had no doubt which way to develop our solution. The market direction is clear: clou is not an option, it is increasingly the standard.
Choosing cloud auditor is a natural evolutionary step for many of our customers. It’s not about blindly chasing fashion. We want our users to be able to focus on managing their resources and supporting their business, not on keeping an eye on whether a database server is at the right temperature and has up-to-date security patches.
The market in 2026 isn’t asking whether it’s worth being in the cloud. It is asking how to use it wisely to build an advantage. And we are here to accompany you in this process.
