The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on Wednesday proposed amendments to its regulation requiring broker-dealers, investment companies, and registered investment advisers to establish policies and procedures to safeguard customer records and information.
The proposed amendments would update Regulation S-P to “address the expanded use of technology and corresponding risks” that have come with innovation since the rule was first adopted in 2000, the SEC said in a press release. The agency noted its proposed changes were informed by comments in response to an abandoned 2008 proposal to amend Reg S-P in a similar manner.
The new proposal will be subject to a 60-day comment period following publication in the Federal Register.
