DisclosureLens

Structured extracts of public breach disclosures — regulator filings (SEC, HHS, state AGs, EU DPAs) alongside threat-actor leak-site claims and press reports. SEC and HHS filings render inline from the originating regulator’s public record under the fair report privilege; other sources link out to the source URL. AI-extracted with full per-record audit trail (model, prompt version, confidence).

About this clustering

DisclosureLens links filings into incidents through layered matchers: deterministic rules (same source document, multistate filings of one breach, tight-window same-victim pairs), a weighted-similarity scorer for cross-source candidates, and an operator review queue for everything uncertain. Each link records its own method and confidence — shown per filing in the timeline below. The system defaults to NOT merging when uncertain, because a false merge (collapsing two unrelated breaches) is more harmful than a false split (showing related filings separately); uncertain pairs route to human review instead of auto-merging. Filing summaries shown in the timeline are AI-generated extracts — verify each against its linked source.
