New York, September 6, 2023 – Diligent, a leading GRC SaaS company, today announced new disclosure readiness packages for cyber and climate, to help organizations improve how they analyze and report on internal climate and cyber risk data, and enhance organizational knowledge of corresponding regulations. The new solutions packages will help boards, executives and practitioners drive compliance with the SEC’s new cybersecurity rules and upcoming climate disclosure rules.

“While absolutely necessary in today’s risk environment, these disclosures put pressure on boards and management to prove their oversight and expertise over climate- and cyber-related risks. It also means companies need to formalize how they collect, analyze and report on cyber and climate data,” said Adam Bailey, SVP and Global Head of Product at Diligent. "Having tools to manage everything from data collection to board reporting and education will help organizations stay prepared, while saving time and money.”

"In today's heightened regulatory environment, it's critical that companies have the necessary tools and education to enable their directors to provide effective oversight on relevant issues,” said Myrna Soto, Founder & CEO, Apogee Executive Advisors LLC and Board Member of Spirit Airlines, TriNet, Popular and CMS Energy. “With a short timeline in place for cyber disclosures and climate disclosures on the horizon, it is our imperative that directors be educated on these topics and what they mean for our organizations."

These packages are comprised of targeted solutions that will help set boards and executives up for success in navigating the preparedness behind these disclosures, including:
