In late June, the #SEC’s Division of Corporation Finance released new compliance and disclosure interpretations regarding the disclosure of material #cybersecurity incidents under Item 1.05 of Form 8-K, focusing on ransomware payments. Key points include: - Returning to normal operations or recovering data does not negate the need for materiality assessments - Insurance coverage for ransom payments is a consideration but not determinative - The size of a ransom payment alone is not determinative—long-term impacts must be considered - Multiple related cyber incidents over time could collectively be deemed material Companies should reassess their materiality determination processes and ensure robust policies are in place. Preparing now can mitigate risks and ensure compliance during an actual incident. #privacy 🖊️ Sadia Mirza, CIPP/US, CIPM, David Meyers, Jay Dubow, Ronald Raether, and Casselle Smith McKoy 🔗 https://lnkd.in/dvegfeDc

Recapping the highlights from our recent Law360 article by the Incidents + Investigations team on #materiality determinations following a #cybersecurity incident: 1. Returning to normal business operations does not relieve a company of the requirement to make materiality determinations. 2. The return of data by a threat actor does not relieve a company of the requirement to make materiality determinations. 3. Once an incident is deemed material, paying a ransom does not reverse that determination. 4. Insurance coverage for ransom payments is a consideration, not a determinative factor. 5. The size of a ransomware payment by itself is not determinative, but businesses need to consider the long-term impact. 6. Multiple cyber incidents over a period of time could be material if determined to be related. Happy reading.
