This cybersecurity "task" force may be a group of individuals, employees, contractors or staff that currently work within the SEC, have specialized within cybersecurity or who are involved in the implementation, planning, or enforcement of cybersecurity rules, and regulations, they may be specialized cybersecurity individuals by trade or general staff assigned to support cybersecurity violations. This force may also be a part of the Cybersecurity Round table or the SEC.gov | Office of Compliance Inspections and Examinations.

Specifically, I am looking for documents that show how the SEC cybersecurity personal fit into the SEC's organization chart, the positions, and salary of all SEC staff assigned or partially assigned to cybersecurity, as well as the entire SEC budgets for cybersecurity actions for both the previous and forward looking years.

I also wish to obtain any documents, contracts, proposals, invoices, or budgets for 3rd party cybersecurity contractors that may assist the SEC.

The requested documents will be made available to the general public free of charge as part of the public information service at MuckRock.com, and is not being made for commercial usage.

In the event that fees cannot be waived, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.

Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 20 business days, as the statute requires.

I believe information is withheld, specifically, in regards to the total number of people within the cybersecurity enforcement division.

I believe there is substantially more information and documents that meet the original request but were not provided.

With this in mind, I respectfully appeal and request that additional searches be conducted for responsive documents.

To whom this regards,

Re: #15-02059-FOIA.
