The long view, in 8-K filings
An 8-K is filed within four business days of an event, so this counts filings made because something happened.
Every month since 2008. The last point is the current month and is still
filling, so it always looks lower than it will be.

Who is hiring for it
A sample of the open roles naming this phrase. An employer paying a salary
against something is the least ambiguous demand signal there is, and every row links to the
posting so the claim can be checked rather than believed. The total above is the whole US
market; these are the ones we hold the posting for.

How it actually arrives
An 8-K's meaning is in its item number, not its text. These are the items the filings
containing this phrase were filed under. The first group is something that happened to the
company. The second is the phrase turning up in the ordinary course of reporting, most often in
an earnings release, which is a very different thing and is usually the larger number.
| Filed because something happened |
Companies |
|---|
| Other material event Item 8.01 | 14 |
| Director or officer departure Item 5.02 | 7 |
| Change of accountant Item 4.01 | 4 |
| Mentioned in routine reporting |
Companies |
|---|
| Financial statements and exhibits Item 9.01 | 56 |
| Entry into a material agreement Item 1.01 | 24 |
| Regulation FD disclosure Item 7.01 | 20 |
| Results of operations, the earnings release Item 2.02 | 16 |
| Completion of an acquisition Item 2.01 | 8 |
This is why a headline count on its own overstates the case.
Where the routine number dominates, the phrase is being tracked as language rather than as
events.
Which industries file it
Companies grouped by the industry classification on their own filing. A count, not a
survey.
| Industry | | Companies |
|---|
| Software and IT services | | 8 |
| Securities and investment | | 5 |
| Pipelines and communications | | 5 |
| Utilities | | 4 |
| Chemicals and pharmaceuticals | | 4 |

What it obligates
Our corpus holds 5 controls across
3 frameworks whose text speaks to this. Not a judgement:
these controls say so, and each is one lookup from its source document. Ordered by how much each
framework has to say about it, so the one that will cost you the most work is first. Every name
opens that framework in the corpus.
What an auditor will ask you to produce
The artefacts named on those controls, most frequently cited first.
- Statutory notification + documented + records + per sector + per Article
- 30-day SLA + FSA + records + per incident + initial + detailed + closure
- APPI Article 26 + PIPC + records + per personal data incident + 30-day
- Customer notification + plain language + records + per affected + recommended actions
- IR Plan + documented + Board approved + records + annual review + scenarios
- CSIRT + 24x7 + records + per incident + roles + handover
- Tabletop exercises + annual + records + per scenario + after action review
- FSA notification + Article 52-2 + records + per incident + initial + detailed
How it usually fails
Recorded when each control was verified against its source. This is where programmes
that think they are covered turn out not to be.
- Statutory notification process informal (no per-Article procedure)
- 30-day SLA frequently exceeded
- APPI Article 26 dimension overlooked
- Customer notification template + dense legal
- IR Plan outdated (no annual review)
- CSIRT business-hours coverage only
Service Disruption in 10-K and 10-Q filings, by month.
The phrase was already in use in the first month we hold, so this shows how it has moved since rather than when it began.
What this actually means
- Who is exposed
- 1 companies disclosed this for the first time in the last ninety days, out of 58 in total. A first mention is a company deciding it can no longer not say it. Whoever has not yet is either genuinely unaffected or has not looked, and nothing here distinguishes the two.
Tell me when Service Disruption files something new
One email when a public company newly discloses this, naming the company and what our corpus says it puts in scope. Nothing else, and one click to stop.
Where this comes from
The left half is public record: SEC full-text search over 8-K filings, counted across a
7 day window against the equivalent window before it. You can check
every row.
The right half is ours: 723 frameworks and
20,473 controls, 531 of those frameworks verified against
their source documents, with the auditor evidence and common failure modes recorded control by
control. Controls appear here because their own text names this term.
