Materiality decided, before the clock starts.

gateSECCyber forensically seals that a cyber incident passes four clusters, materiality assessment, board oversight, 8-K deadline control, and DORA alignment, before the four-business-day SEC filing window begins. Support for public companies, never a replacement for a regulator's own recognition as evidence.

In one sentence: gateSECCyber deterministically calculates whether a cyber incident is material, and starts the four-day clock only once that decision is cryptographically sealed.

✓ RELEVANT IF...

You are an SEC-registered company that must disclose cyber incidents
You need to forensically document the materiality determination

✕ NOT RELEVANT IF...

You expect the SEC to automatically recognise the result as complete disclosure
No SEC-registered company or cyber incident is involved

// The problem

Four business days is not an estimate, it is a hard deadline.

SEC Regulation S-K Item 106 requires the 8-K filing within four business days of the materiality determination, not of discovery of the incident. gateSECCyber seals the exact moment of that determination, so the deadline is forensically provable as correctly calculated.

// Architecture

4 clusters, checked sequentially.

Every cluster is dispositive (material_block_mode: true), a hit blocks bindingly, not merely for documentation.

CLUSTER 1

Materiality Assessment

Evaluates quantitative and qualitative materiality factors (financial impact, reputational harm, operational disruption) against a fixed criteria catalogue and seals the moment of determination.

materiality_criteria_met · determination_timestamp

CLUSTER 2

Board Oversight

Requires proof that the board or a designated committee was involved in the risk assessment, with a sealed timestamp of that involvement.

board_briefing_confirmed · briefing_timestamp

CLUSTER 3

8-K Deadline Control

Calculates the four-business-day deadline from the sealed materiality timestamp and flags a late filing as a deadline breach.

CLUSTER 4

DORA Alignment

Cross-checks the incident classification against DORA's major-ICT-incident categories, where the company also provides EU financial services.

// Clarification

What gateSECCyber is not.

Not automatic recognition by the SEC. The gate delivers a cryptographic proof, not regulatory confirmation of completeness.
Not a replacement for legal review of disclosure wording. The gate seals the deadline and oversight logic, not the content of the 8-K itself.

Materiality decided, before the clock starts.

Four business days is not an estimate, it is a hard deadline.

4 clusters, checked sequentially.

Two tested scenarios.

What gateSECCyber is not.

For public companies that want to make cyber disclosure provably timely.
