Here’s a preview of what’s included in Axio360 for SEC Cyber Compliance

SEC Preparedness Assessment

This unique assessment was built by the cyber risk engineering team at Axio. It has been designed to focus on measuring the critical measures CISOs must take to be ready for 2024. You can only get it with the Axio360 platform. Upon completing the assessment, you will have a better understanding if you have:

• Processes in place that are currently allowing your company to assess cyber risks and their material impacts.
• Processes in place between your security team, General Counsel, and communications team (or whomever it may be) to be sure you can conduct materiality assessments and get an 8-k filed in the 4-day window
• Capabilities to assess materiality for qualitative factors.

Board Reporting

Axio360 for SEC Cyber Compliance addresses the challenge of aligning cyber risks with the organization’s financial statements. Using our board reporting solution, communication between CISOs and non-technical executives is enhanced, especially among board members with fiduciary duties. Security leaders can bring clarity to cyber scenarios top of mind, helping executives better understand the impact on the business. This financially transparent reporting can serve as a springboard for operationalizing and integrating cyber risk reduction into broader enterprise risk management capabilities.

Strategy and Plan

Axio360 for SEC Cyber Compliance includes capabilities that result in an actionable strategy and plan, offering a visible, always accessible single pane of glass for assessing cybersecurity maturity. Security leaders can build a control improvement roadmap to demonstrate the progression of their maturity from identified gaps in the current state to a stronger future state that demonstrates risk reduction.

Materiality Management

A key feature of Axio360 is its ability to assist in understanding materiality for incident disclosures through cyber risk quantification. An impact-focused methodology removes the confusion surrounding how cyber incidents financially align with the business, considering both tangible and intangible factors. The outcome is eliminating debate around which incidents should be disclosed and which should be swept under the rug. This transparency ensures a consistent and comprehensive approach to disclosing material cyber incidents, aligning with regulatory expectations and best practices.

A Cybersecurity System of Record

An important part of any security leader’s role is ensuring risk reduction is aligned with mission-critical business processes. Axio360 can serve as the cybersecurity system of record for CISOs to document all their cybersecurity decisions. This helps protect themselves and the security team when times may be challenging—particularly in the event of a breach, attack, or other cybersecurity incident. Unfortunately, approval for the necessary control investments is not always guaranteed during times of peace and planning. What’s more certain is being scapegoated when there is trouble. Demonstrating when and why requested security solutions were deprioritized serves as a shield for organizational liability and a blanket of protection for one’s reputation. A cybersecurity system of record is important for any organization to document its cybersecurity intent, obstacles faced, and the final decisions reached.
