Impactful Policy Frameworks
NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0 (2024)
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) updated its Cybersecurity Framework to version 2.0 in 2024, expanding its scope beyond critical infrastructure to all organizations and introducing a new 'Govern' function for organizational-wide risk management.
This policy increases the imperative for JRM's clients to adopt comprehensive, strategic cybersecurity risk management, directly aligning with and enhancing the demand for JRM's high-level security director services.
Security and Exchange Commission (SEC) Cybersecurity Rules (2023)
In 2023, the SEC adopted new rules requiring public companies to disclose material cybersecurity incidents within four business days and to periodically disclose their cybersecurity risk management, strategy, and governance.
This regulation creates a strong regulatory driver for corporate clients to enhance their cybersecurity governance and incident response capabilities, thereby increasing the need for expert security directors like those JRM provides.
Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Cyber Incident Reporting for Critical Infrastructure Act (CIRCIA) (2022)
CIRCIA, enacted in 2022, mandates covered critical infrastructure entities to report significant cyber incidents and ransomware payments to the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA).
This act compels critical infrastructure clients to invest in robust incident reporting and response frameworks, strengthening the demand for JRM's services in developing and managing such strategic security programs.
