BreachTrigger

BreachSignal is a cybersecurity disclosure monitoring service that helps security teams, analysts, journalists, sales teams, and risk-focused professionals track new material cybersecurity incident filings from public companies. It monitors SEC EDGAR for Item 1.05 disclosures in 8-K filings and sends alerts when a relevant filing appears in the public record.

The platform is designed for people who want to know about material cybersecurity incident disclosures as soon as they are filed rather than waiting for media coverage or manually searching SEC records. Each alert stays close to the underlying filing and provides structured information such as the registrant, ticker, CIK, form type, filing date, and a direct EDGAR link.

Key Features

SEC EDGAR Monitoring

Track new Item 1.05 cybersecurity incident disclosures from public companies.

BreachSignal monitors SEC EDGAR for filings related to:

• Material cybersecurity incidents
• Item 1.05 disclosures
• 8-K filings
• Public company incident reporting
• Newly filed cybersecurity disclosures

The monitoring workflow is designed to surface new filings from the public record without requiring users to manually search EDGAR.

Regular EDGAR Polling

Check SEC filing data throughout the day for new disclosures.

BreachSignal polls SEC full-text search every 30 minutes for:

• New Item 1.05 filings
• Relevant 8-K disclosures
• Newly reported cybersecurity incidents
• Public company risk disclosures

This helps users identify new filings closer to when they become available through EDGAR.

Same-Day Filing Alerts

Receive an email when a relevant cybersecurity disclosure appears.

Alerts can provide information such as:

• Registrant name
• Company ticker
• CIK
• Form type
• Filing date
• Direct EDGAR link

This allows users to quickly review the original filing without relying on secondary reporting.

Structured Disclosure Information

Review the key filing details in a consistent format.

Each alert focuses on publicly available filing data, including:

• Registrant
• Ticker symbol
• CIK
• Filing type
• Filing date
• SEC filing link

This makes it easier to identify and compare newly disclosed incidents across multiple companies.

Direct EDGAR Source Access

Go directly from an alert to the underlying SEC filing.

BreachSignal includes the EDGAR link with each relevant alert, allowing users to:

• Review the original disclosure
• Verify filing information
• Read the company's own filing
• Check filing dates
• Conduct further analysis

The service is designed to keep the public filing as the primary source of information.

Sector-Based Monitoring

Follow cybersecurity disclosures across selected parts of the public market.

Users can monitor companies across sectors including:

• Technology
• Financial services
• Healthcare
• Retail
• Industrial companies

This can help teams focus their monitoring on industries most relevant to their research, security, sales, or risk workflows.

Ticker Watchlists

Monitor specific public companies and registrants.

Ticker watchlists can help users follow:

• Named companies
• Specific registrants
• Selected public companies
• Companies relevant to a sector or market
• Organizations of particular interest

This provides a more focused option alongside broader sector monitoring.

Weekly Sector Digest

Stay informed about relevant filings without requiring instant alerts.

The free option includes a weekly digest covering:

• Recent cybersecurity disclosures
• Sector-related filings
• Notable Item 1.05 activity
• Public filing information

This gives users a lower-frequency way to follow cybersecurity incident disclosures.

Public Filing Archive

Review previously surfaced disclosures through a public archive.

The archive provides access to historical filing activity, making it easier to:

• Review past disclosures
• Explore sector activity
• Find previously identified filings
• Compare public company disclosures over time

This can be useful for research and longer-term monitoring.

Source-Focused Reporting

Focus on what was actually disclosed rather than adding inferred details.

BreachSignal avoids adding speculative information about:

• The cause of an incident
• The scale of a breach
• Potential consequences
• Attack attribution
• Details not included in the filing

Instead, the service focuses on the fact that a relevant disclosure was filed and provides the structured filing information needed to investigate it further.

Why It Matters

Material cybersecurity incidents can become publicly visible through SEC filings before they receive significant media coverage. For security teams, analysts, journalists, and other professionals monitoring public-company risk, manually checking EDGAR can make it difficult to consistently identify relevant disclosures as they appear.

BreachSignal creates a focused monitoring layer around Item 1.05 cybersecurity incident disclosures. It regularly checks SEC EDGAR for new filings, provides structured details about the registrant and filing, supports sector filters and ticker watchlists, and sends alerts that link directly to the original public record. This allows users to react to the filing itself rather than waiting for news coverage or sorting through unrelated SEC documents.

The service is based on publicly available SEC filings and is intended for informational purposes only. It does not provide legal, cybersecurity, or investment advice.
