The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) will require broker-dealers and registered investment advisers to adopt written policies and procedures for handling data breaches of customer data and notify affected customers within 30 days.

The amendments widen obligations for broker-dealers, funding portals, registered investment advisers, investment companies, and transfer agents to create and implement a data breach incident response program.
