Regulation S‑P (Reg S‑P) requires investment advisers, broker-dealers and other covered firms to safeguard customer information. In June 2024, the SEC amended Reg S‑P to require covered firms to establish written policies and procedures for responding to unauthorized access to or use of customer information, including procedures for providing timely notice to affected customers. The amendments also broaden the scope of information covered and require firms to document their compliance with the updated rules. The amended Reg S‑P took effect for larger firms on December 3, 2025, and becomes effective for smaller managers on June 3, 2026, said Seward & Kissel partner Casey J. Jennings in a firm program on preparing for compliance with the amendments. Jennings, along with special counsel Erin Galipeau and attorney Katherine A. Agoglia, discussed the steps covered firms should take to ensure compliance with Reg S‑P, including incident response plans and third-party oversight. This article presents the key takeaways from the presentation. See “SEC Staff Discuss Regulation S‑P Amendments and Related Examination Processes” (Oct. 23, 2025).
