DFIN has created this document to answer some commonly asked questions regarding the security and privacy of ActiveDisclosure software. It is important to note that DFIN is continually improving security and privacy.

DFIN is committed to keeping clients abreast of regulatory changes — and an important SEC modernization effort is coming up.

If you are responsible for EDGAR filings at a domestic (U.S.) company, and you think the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act Disclosure rule doesn't apply to you — think again!

The title of the act notwithstanding, all companies that file with EDGAR must comply with the rule — including U.S. corporations. Filings will suspend if you don't comply.  

Here's the background: on December 2, 2021, the SEC released a final rule for Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act disclosure. This rule introduced new requirements for Auditor's information.

It has been said that we are at the front end of an explosion of science--and that this is "the century" of biology. There is no question or doubt that the COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the Life Sciences industry—and that speed of innovation is nothing short of remarkable and unparalleled.

One of DFIN’s strengths is our deep technical knowledge and our ability to provide clients with headlights into future regulatory changes.

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) proposed modernization of the Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis, and Retrieval system, or EDGAR, is a good example. If adopted, filers would have to create individual user account credentials with a third-party service provider. In addition, each filer would have to assign a filer administrator, who would manage the permissions of individual users with a new management tool.
