Adopted in 2023, the Securities & Exchange Commission’s new Regulation S-K Item 106 in the Form 10-K requires a description of the policies and procedures, if any, for the identification and management of cybersecurity threats including operational risk (i.e., disruption of business operations), intellectual property theft, fraud, extortion, harm to employees or customers, violation of privacy laws and other litigation and legal risk, reputational risk.
These cybersecurity rules also require public companies to disclose the details of any cybersecurity incident they determine to be material on the new Item 1.05 of Form 8-K within four days of determining materiality. Foreign private issuers are now also required to make comparable disclosures.
The SEC Rules on Cybersecurity Risk Management, Strategy, Governance, and Incident Disclosure are part of a broader regulatory trend that's making cybersecurity a central board concern. Now is the time to assess your operational risk so you're prepared to answer questions in business and financial terms.
"Operational risk refers to any situation which could cause a loss of view or loss of control to your connected processes and functions, where view and/or control cannot be recovered automatically or remotely from manipulation."
Managing operational risk requires embedding cyber resilience programs into your overall risk management strategy.
Security leaders often feel comfortable managing IT risk, however, a detailed understanding of operational technology (OT) devices and systems is required to provide the contextual information needed to mitigate, accept, or avoid operational risk.
Risk assessments are available to analyze this information at scale and to assess the implementation, or lack thereof, of key security controls across operations.
