SEC Commissioner Aguilar Calls For Expansion of Reg SCI
In a recent speech, SEC commissioner Luis Aguilar says Reg SCI needs to be applied to more areas of the capital markets.
Passed in November 2014 and requiring certain market participants — self-regulatory organizations, some alternative trading systems, plan processors and certain clearing agencies — to have comprehensive policies and procedures in place regarding cyber security, Reg SCI needs to encompass more areas of the markets, the commissioner argued.
"Reg SCI doesn't apply to many important segments of the capital markets. For example, it doesn't apply to over-the-counter market makers, stockbrokers, or transfer agents," he said. "Obviously, more work is needed to ensure that the Commission's cybersecurity rules address all key areas of the market we regulate."
"The Commission needs to expand the scope of Reg SCI to reach other crucial market participants. This should be a top priority," Aguilar later added.
