Proposed rules for public companies, investment advisors, and funds are now expected to be finalized in October 2023 at the earliest

According to its Spring 2023 rulemaking agenda, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has delayed issuance of two sets of cybersecurity requirements that previously were expected to be finalized in April 2023. The SEC’s proposed Cybersecurity Risk Management, Strategy, Governance, and Incident Disclosure rule for public companies and its proposed rule on Cyber Risk Management for Investment Advisers, Registered Investment Companies and Business Development Companies now are scheduled to be finalized by October 2023 at the earliest.
