Questions Oklahoma businesses ask about the audit
What is Oklahoma SB 626?
SB 626 is Oklahoma’s data security law, effective January 1, 2026. It carries exposure of up to $150,000 per breach, requires Attorney General notification within 60 days, and offers a "reasonable safeguards" affirmative defense for businesses that can document their security controls.
What counts as "reasonable safeguards" under SB 626?
The standard is not a fixed checklist, but it presumes documented, working controls: unique accounts with multi-factor authentication, patched systems, endpoint protection, tested backups, a written incident response plan, and a recent formal risk assessment. This audit scores all of them.
How long does the SB 626 readiness audit take?
About 10 minutes — 15 yes/no questions across four weighted categories. You receive a scored report with your top exposures ranked by severity, and a specific fix for each one.
Why do cyber insurance applications get denied?
Missing multi-factor authentication was involved in 82% of denials in 2025 according to Coalition. Carriers now also require EDR on every endpoint rather than consumer antivirus, and attested backup restore tests at renewal. The audit uses the same checklist Coalition and Travelers underwrite against.
Do I need to be a Great Plains Networking customer?
No. The audit is free and open to any Oklahoma business, and the report is yours to keep. Hand it to your current IT provider, or call (405) 549-2266 if you would like us to close the gaps.
