Executive & Board of Directors Training

Does your board understand cybersecurity requirements and global regulations?

Despite the rising risk of cyber attacks targeting businesses of every size and industry, there remains a significant gap from the smallest to large organizations when it comes to cyber literacy and education. 

 

To establish an effective cybersecurity defense, it's essential for executives and board of directors to have an understanding of cybersecurity and build this mindset into the foundation of everything the company does. 

​

Clarus Tech Partners provides cybersecurity training programs tailored for your executive team, public, private or non-profit organizations.​

Our Board of Directors Program includes understanding your company's unique requirements and tailoring the agenda to align with your specific needs.

Public Companies: The SEC's New Rule on Cybersecurity

The SEC’s recent adoption of cybersecurity rules mandates public companies to disclose material cybersecurity incidents and maintain robust risk management, strategy, and governance programs. 

 

Even if your company isn't publicly traded, as a third party, you may still be held to these standards by investors and stakeholders. Private organizations are also adopting similar measures to align with current industry best practices.  

 

These regulations underscore the need for board members to possess a solid understanding of the organization’s cybersecurity landscape to align with their fiduciary and statutory responsibilities.

SEC Requirements 

 

Annual disclosure of cybersecurity risk management, strategy, and governance. 

​

The disclosures must include:

  • The Board's knowledge and oversight process, including any delegation to committees.

  • How the Board is informed about risks from cybersecurity threats.

  • Management's role in assessing, identifying, and managing material risk from cybersecurity threats.

  • Any "material" cyber incidents within 4 days.

​

Effective reporting dates: December 18, 2023 (larger companies) and June 15, 2024 (smaller companies and foreign private issuers).
