Continuous Controls Monitoring: A Strategic Tool for SEC Cybersecurity Compliance
Proactive adaptation to the SEC cybersecurity rules is not just a choice, it’s a strategic imperative.
Executive and Board Reporting: A Critical Component of SEC Cybersecurity Compliance
The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has adopted new cybersecurity rules that require registered investment companies and investment advisers to adopt and implement written cybersecurity policies and procedures. These rules are designed to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of customer information.
One of the most important aspects of the new SEC cybersecurity rules is the requirement for executive and board reporting. Executives and board members are responsible for overseeing the development and implementation of cybersecurity policies and procedures. They are also responsible for ensuring that these policies and procedures are effective in protecting customer information.
Executive and board reporting is essential for ensuring that cybersecurity risks are identified, assessed, and mitigated. It also helps to ensure that cybersecurity policies and procedures are reviewed and updated on a regular basis.
