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 | 38 |
| Director or officer departure Item 5.02 | 25 |
| Change of accountant Item 4.01 | 2 |
| Bankruptcy or receivership Item 1.03 | 1 |
| Delisting or listing rule failure Item 3.01 | 1 |
| Mentioned in routine reporting |
Companies |
|---|
| Financial statements and exhibits Item 9.01 | 158 |
| Entry into a material agreement Item 1.01 | 136 |
| Regulation FD disclosure Item 7.01 | 89 |
| Results of operations, the earnings release Item 2.02 | 23 |
| Completion of an acquisition Item 2.01 | 19 |
| Shareholder vote Item 5.07 | 1 |
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.

| Software and IT services | | 16 |
| Banking | | 10 |

| Industrial machinery | | 5 |
| Airlines | | 4 |
| Real estate | | 4 |
What it obligates
Our corpus holds 108 controls across
78 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.
- Encryption + pseudonymisation evidence
- Breach register
- Breach detection + SIEM/DLP/EDR/insider + records + per incident + audit trail
- Records of processing (RoPA)
- Data processing agreement
- DPIA template and register
- Breach response plan
- Configuration / tooling output demonstrating the safeguard
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.
- No encryption
- No data subject breach notification
- No processor contracts
- No breach notification process
- Breach detection passive (manual reports only)
- Subject notification skipped (high-risk underestimated)
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.
