Materiality assessments and disclosure timelines don't wait for a manual review process. Essert automates the evidence-gathering so you're ready before the clock starts.
SEC rules require public companies to disclose material cybersecurity incidents within a tight window — and determining “materiality” itself requires a documented, defensible process. Organizations without a repeatable system risk late disclosures, inconsistent materiality judgments, and regulatory scrutiny of the process itself, not just the incident.
A structured, repeatable process for evaluating whether an incident is material, with a documented audit trail.
Automatic tracking of the clock from incident detection to required disclosure.
Every assessment produces documentation suitable for regulator or auditor review.
Run practice materiality assessments before a real incident occurs.
Maps directly to the SEC's cybersecurity disclosure rules (Item 1.05 of Form 8-K and related requirements), covering both the materiality determination process and the disclosure content itself.
Materiality is a judgment call the SEC leaves to each organization — Essert's workflow structures that judgment so it's consistent and defensible, not a fixed formula.
No — Essert prepares the assessment and supporting evidence; your legal/IR team handles the actual filing.
