These disclosures are made through 8-K and 8-K/A (Amendment) filings, which contain crucial information that can significantly impact a company’s financial health, market position, and compliance status. Organizations need to be aware of these 8-K filings for several reasons: • Regulatory Compliance: Timely awareness of 8-K filings helps organizations meet their own regulatory obligations and avoid penalties. • Market Impact: Filings can influence stock prices and market sentiment, making it vital for investors and analysts to stay informed. • Risk Management: Early detection of disclosed breaches or other material events allows for proactive risk mitigation. • Strategic Planning: Understanding changes in the industry helps refine strategies and identify opportunities or threats. • Competitive Intelligence: Monitoring competitors’ disclosures provides insights into their strategies and market moves. Recognizing the importance of staying informed, Precize has developed an automated bot that sends notifications whenever a company discloses a material incident to the SEC. This bot monitors the SEC’s Edgar database every hour and immediately sends an email with a direct link to the relevant 8-K filing once it is identified. https://lnkd.in/esv2Si_y Vishwas Manral Precize Inc Alex Shulman-Peleg, Ph.D. For those interested in broader incident tracking beyond 8-K filings, Board Cybersecurity’s Incident Tracker is another valuable resource. This tool offers comprehensive insights into various cybersecurity incidents, helping organizations stay informed about the latest threats and trends in the industry. https://lnkd.in/eU2VVksu By leveraging these tools, organizations can ensure they are always up to date with the latest material disclosures and cybersecurity incidents, enhancing their ability to respond to emerging risks, comply with regulations, and make informed strategic decisions.

Second, examples will be set and penalties imposed which will force all organizations into developing more structured processes on these issues.
