withheld or allowing less time to remit taxes to government authorities would adversely impact average client balances and, thereby, adversely impact interest income from investing client funds before such funds are remitted to the applicable [removed: taxing] [added: tax] authorities.
The risk of failing to receive such payments from PEO clients could be magnified during significant financial or other disruptions or catastrophic events, such as the failure of a [removed: bank, like that of Signature Bank or Silicon Valley Bank,] [added: bank] with whom a significant number of PEO clients may bank at the time, or more widespread stress or failure within the U.S. banking system.
Our [removed: Wisely] [added: Wisely®] offerings and potentially other future offerings in the payments and/or consumer space may subject us to additional laws and regulations, some of which may not be uniform and may require us to modify or restrict our offerings and decrease our potential revenue and earnings.
We have registered our payroll card business as a provider of prepaid access, and registered [removed: our] ADP Trust Bank [added: and ADP Retirement Trust Services] with the Treasury Department’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN).
Any violations of applicable anti-corruption, economic and trade sanctions or anti-money laundering laws or regulations could limit certain of our business activities until they are satisfactorily remediated and could result in civil and criminal penalties, including fines, which could damage our reputation and have a materially adverse effect on our results of [removed: operation] [added: operations] or financial condition.
However, legislation that [removed: would govern] [added: governs] the development and/or use of AI [added: has been adopted or] is under consideration in the U.S. at the state and local level, as well as abroad.
In addition, self-regulatory frameworks like the National [added: Institute of Standards and Technology AI Risk]
[removed: Institute of Standards and Technology AI Risk] Management Framework are being promulgated and adherence to these may become an industry standard or a client expectation.
As a result, the ability to provide data-driven insights and otherwise leverage AI and ML may be constrained by current or future [removed: laws,] [added: laws (including product liability regimes),] regulatory or self-regulatory requirements or ethical considerations, including our own published, guiding ethical principles regarding AI and ML, that could restrict or impose burdensome and costly requirements on our ability to leverage data and/or these technologies in innovative ways.
Complying with privacy, data protection, AI and cyber security laws and requirements, including the enhanced obligations imposed by the GDPR, our [removed: BCRs and] [added: BCRs, U.S. state privacy laws, including] the CPRA, [added: and the EU Artificial Intelligence Act,] may result in significant costs to our business and require us to amend certain of our business practices.
Our intellectual property [added: (including source code)] could be wrongfully acquired as a result of a cyber-attack or other wrongful [removed: conduct by third parties or our personnel.]
Furthermore, our efforts to enforce our intellectual property rights may be met with defenses, counterclaims, and countersuits attacking the validity and enforceability of our intellectual property rights, which [added: may be successful.]
Our businesses collect, host, store, transfer, process, disclose, use, [removed: secure and] [added: secure,] retain and dispose of personal and business information, and collect, hold and transmit client funds, and a security or privacy breach may damage or disrupt our [removed: businesses,] [added: businesses or operations,] result in the disclosure of confidential information, damage our reputation, increase our costs, cause losses and materially adversely affect our results of operations
In connection with our business, we collect, host, store, transfer, process, disclose, use, [removed: secure and] [added: secure,] retain and dispose of large amounts of personal and business information about our clients, employees of our clients, our vendors and our employees, contractors and temporary staff, including payroll information, health care information, personal and business financial data, social security [removed: numbers and their foreign equivalents, bank account numbers, tax information and other sensitive personal and business information.]
We also collect significant amounts of funds from the accounts of our clients and transmit them to their employees, [removed: taxing] [added: tax] authorities and other [removed: third parties.][added: payees.]
We are focused on [removed: ensuring that we safeguard] [added: safeguarding] and [removed: protect] [added: protecting] personal and business information and client funds, and we devote significant resources to maintain and regularly update our systems and processes.
Nonetheless, the global environment continues to grow increasingly hostile as attacks on information technology systems continue to grow in frequency, complexity and [removed: sophistication,] [added: sophistication (including due to the use of AI),] and we are regularly targeted by unauthorized parties using malicious tactics, code and viruses.
Although this is a global problem, it may affect our businesses more than other businesses because malevolent parties [removed: (including] [added: (which could include] our personnel) may focus on the amount and type of personal and business information that our businesses collect, host, store, transfer, process, disclose, use, [removed: secure and] [added: secure,] retain and dispose of, and the client funds that we collect and transmit.
We have programs and processes in place [added: designed] to prevent, detect and respond to data or cybersecurity incidents.
Unauthorized parties [added: have] also [removed: attempt] [added: attempted] to gain [added: (and in certain cases have gained), and will continue to attempt to gain,] access to our systems or facilities, or those of third parties with whom we do business, through fraud, trickery, or other methods of deceiving these third parties or our personnel, including phishing and other social engineering techniques whereby attackers use end-user behaviors to distribute computer viruses and malware into our systems or otherwise [removed: compromise the confidentiality, integrity or availability of data or our systems.]
As these threats continue to evolve and increase (including due to the use of AI), we continue to invest significant resources, and may be required to invest significant additional resources, to modify and enhance our [removed: information security and] [added: cybersecurity] controls [added: and to investigate and remediate any security vulnerabilities.]
Information [added: or system access] obtained by malevolent parties [removed: (including] [added: (which could include] our personnel) resulting from successful attacks against our clients, vendors, partners or other third parties may, in turn, be used to attack our information technology systems.
[removed: A cyberattack,] [added: In the future, a cybersecurity attack,] unauthorized intrusion, malicious software infiltration, network disruption, denial of service, corruption of data, ransomware attack, theft of non-public or other sensitive information, or similar act by a malevolent party [removed: (including] [added: (which could include] our personnel), or inadvertent acts or inactions by our vendors, partners or personnel, could result in the loss, disclosure or misuse of confidential personal or business information or [added: our intellectual property or] the theft of client or ADP funds, which could have a materially adverse effect on our business or results of operations or that of our clients, result in liability, litigation, regulatory investigations and sanctions or a loss of confidence in our ability to serve clients, or cause current or potential clients to choose another service provider.
As a result, the breach or perceived breach of our security systems could result in a loss of confidence by our clients or potential clients and cause them to choose another service provider, which could have a materially adverse effect on our [removed: business.][added: business, financial condition or results of operations.]
[removed: While ADP maintains insurance coverage that, subject to policy terms and conditions and a significant self-insured] retention, is designed to address losses or claims that may arise in connection with certain aspects of data and cyber risks, such insurance coverage may be insufficient to cover all losses or all types of claims that may arise in the continually evolving area of data and cyber risk.
Our systems, applications, solutions and services may be subject to disruptions that could have a materially adverse effect on our [removed: business and] [added: business, operations, financial condition, results of operations or] reputation
We rely heavily on our payroll, financial, [added: accounting, and other data processing systems.]
Any such failure or disablement, even for a brief period of time, whether due to malevolent acts, errors, defects or any other factor(s), could result in financial loss, a disruption of our [removed: businesses,] [added: businesses or operations,] liability to clients, loss of clients, regulatory intervention or damage to our reputation, any of which could have a materially adverse effect on our [added: business,] results of [removed: operation] [added: operations] or financial condition.
We have [added: a global business resiliency program that includes] disaster recovery, business continuity, and crisis management plans and procedures designed to protect our businesses against a multitude of events, including natural disasters, military or terrorist actions, power or communication failures, or similar events.
In addition, the severity of the failure or disablement may require us to replace or rebuild the affected system(s), application(s) or solution(s) and we may be unable to do so before it materially adversely affects our [removed: business.][added: business or operations.]
A disruption of the data centers or cloud-computing or other technology services or systems that we utilize could have a materially adverse effect on our [removed: business][added: business, operations, financial condition or results of operations]
These data centers or cloud-computing and other technology services and systems have [removed: (and, in the future, may)] failed, become disabled or been [removed: disrupted.][added: disrupted, and may do so in the future.]
Any failure, disablement or disruption, even for a limited period of time, could disrupt our businesses [added: or operations] and we could suffer financial loss, liability to clients, loss of clients, regulatory intervention or damage to our reputation, any of which could have a material adverse [removed: effect on our results of operation or financial condition.]
In addition, our third-party vendors may cease providing data center facilities or cloud-computing or other technology services or [removed: systems,] [added: systems (including those on which our products or services are based),] elect to not renew their agreements [added: or licenses] with us on commercially reasonable terms or at all, breach their agreements [added: or licenses] with us or fail to satisfy our expectations, which could disrupt our operations and require us to incur costs which could materially adversely affect our results of [removed: operation] [added: operations] or financial condition.
We may not realize or sustain the expected benefits from our business transformation initiatives, and these efforts could have a materially adverse effect on our [removed: business, operations, financial condition, results of operations and competitive position][added: business,]
[removed: Our business is also impacted by employment levels across our clients, as we] have varied contracts throughout our business that blend base fees and per-employee fees.
In order to satisfy these short-term funding requirements, we maintain access to various sources of liquidity, including borrowings under our commercial paper program and our committed credit facilities, our ability to execute [added: regular] reverse repurchase [removed: transactions] [added: transactions, our committed reverse repurchase agreements,] and corporate cash balances.
In connection with our client funds assets investment strategy, we attempt to minimize the risk of not having funds collected from a client available at the time such [removed: client’s obligation becomes due by generally impounding the client’s funds at the time of payment of such client’s obligation.]
[added: While we have contingency plans in place for bank failures, a] systemic shutdown of the banking industry would impede our ability to process funds on behalf of our payroll, tax and other money movement services clients and could have an adverse impact on our financial results and liquidity.
We publicly share certain information about our environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) initiatives, including our [removed: net zero] [added: efforts related to] greenhouse gas emissions [removed: pledge.][added: reductions and Inclusion, Diversity, Equity and Belonging efforts.]
ADP Canada Co. is a registered entity with the Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Centre of Canada (FINTRAC) as a Money Service Business (MSB).
Our use of generative AI in our products and operations also introduces additional risks, including risks related to accuracy, bias, security, and privacy.
For example, if the data used to train a model or the model’s output is inaccurate or biased, or alleged to be inaccurate or biased, we could be subject to reputational damage or litigation.

Further, while we perform due diligence prior to acquisitions and take actions to safeguard the businesses that we acquire, these businesses may not have invested as significantly as we do in security and technology and may be more susceptible to cybersecurity incidents, which may make us more vulnerable to cybersecurity incidents as well.
We have been, and expect we will continue to be, the subject of cybersecurity attacks, including unauthorized intrusion, malicious software infiltration, network disruption, denial of service, corruption of data, ransomware attack, and theft of sensitive information (including our intellectual property).
Although none of the cybersecurity incidents that we have identified to date have materially affected us, including our business strategy, operations, results of operations, or financial condition, we continue to face significant known and unknown cybersecurity threats.

The transformative potential of innovation continues to grow, in tandem with the power of technologies like artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML) and generative AI.
As these tools change how work happens, we remain focused on providing our clients and associates with HCM technology that is easy to use, powered with smart insights and personalized to support a human-centric experience.
To bring these solutions to market, we pursue multiple paths to innovation.
From leveraging our unique data to provide differentiated insights to collaborating with, or investing in, organizations with complementary products or purchasing solutions that add to our strong foundation, each of these avenues helps ADP sustain a culture focused on continuous innovation.
Transforming our solutions and service through AI
Data is the foundation of the advantage we bring to our clients.
It’s at the core of our products and solutions, informing and driving our approach to innovation and new technology.
The global scale and scope of our client base provide us the industry’s largest and deepest HCM dataset with over 1.1 million clients spanning over 140 countries and 42 million wage earners globally.
Sitting at the center of workforce data, we’re able to create tools that automate critical processes, serve up proactive insights, and deliver a personalized experience.
Launched in January 2024, ADP Assist is a cross-platform solution powered by generative AI that transforms data into credible and actionable insights.
ADP Assist offers smart, user-centric solutions through a conversational interface that touches every aspect of HR – payroll, time, talent, benefits, recruitment, analytics, reporting, and compliance.
ADP Assist validates payroll information, checking for payroll anomalies and using generative AI to identify and help resolve missing tax registrations and answer questions by drawing on ADP’s large, up-to-date dataset of compliance information.
ADP Assist also uses generative AI to simplify report creation, helping HR practitioners and leaders access internal, national, and global workforce data to analyze compensation, turnover, candidate profile relevancy, and talent market insights.
ADP Assist earned the “Generative AI Innovation Award” in the 2024 AI Breakthrough Awards.
Additionally, we integrated generative AI within the Roll by ADP® mobile-first solution to offer clients even greater HR and payroll support with deeper insights.
Along with transforming our solutions, we firmly believe AI and generative AI enhance our operations and enable us to elevate the end-to-end client experience.
To lean into our service expertise, we also extended generative AI capabilities to a broader portion of our service and implementation associates to deliver an even better client
experience.
We also continue to explore generative AI capabilities to further empower our sellers and our product developers to be more productive.

Leveraging our workforce data
AI and ML drive many of the key features of ADP’s data products, including ADP DataCloud, our award-winning people analytics solution.
Skills Graph powers ADP’s Candidate Profile Relevancy tool to help score, assess and predict
ADP’s Model-Based Benchmarks, powered by Skills Graph, deliver real-time compensation insights and market and job coverage for over 9,000 job titles spanning more than 1,000 industries.
We also continue to advance our next-gen platforms.
Our next-gen HCM platform is built for the way people actually work together, moving beyond rigid hierarchical organization structures to mirror practically any structure of work groups, such as divisions, regions, or dynamic teams.
Our next-gen HCM platform uses AI to tailor personalized experiences relevant to each employee based on attributes of role, geographic location, typical behaviors, and anticipated need.
It’s a feedback loop we extend beyond our client-zero program as well, sourcing regular feedback from client
pilot groups to continue to enhance and refine our solutions over time.
Culture of responsible AI
In collaboration with other HCM providers and companies active in the HR space, we worked to develop Best Practices for use of AI in the Workplace led by the Future of Privacy Forum, an organization that brings together industry thought leaders to explore the challenges posed by technological innovation and develop privacy protections, ethical norms, and workable business practices.
Creating a customized HR ecosystem
To meet clients’ shifting needs, we also collaborate with partners through solutions like ADP Marketplace, one of the largest digital HR storefronts with over 800 partner solutions worldwide.
ADP Marketplace is enhancing our client experience by offering integrated partner solutions.
ADP Marketplace also uses ML to easily surface best-fit applications to meet clients’ critical HR needs.
These capabilities are part of ADP’s enterprise-wide initiative to bring the power of AI to HR practitioners, managers and employees.
And all ADP Marketplace partners offering AI-enabled solutions must commit to a set of responsible AI principles based on the principles that govern our own products.
As part of our vision to create an HR ecosystem that is not only efficient but empowers businesses and their people, ADP API Central offers clients access to secure APIs, and tools and resources to simplify and automate their business processes with custom integrations, helping to connect their data across their entire ecosystem.
To enhance our integration capabilities, ADP acquired Sora, a low-code intelligent workflow automation and data
integration tool that unifies disparate business applications such as HR, IT and other systems and data sets to create a smarter, easier-to-use experience for employees, business owners and HR professionals.
As we continue to invest in and execute on our Strategy, we intend to continue to exceed the expectations of our clients and enable them and their people to reach their full potential.
As the business, data and digital technology landscape continues to rapidly evolve, what “work” means, how and where it gets done, and how workers are paid is changing as well.
Leveraging the power of data, we innovate by anticipating the future of work, the future of HCM and the future of pay to help our clients transform their businesses, simplify work and empower their workers.
In today’s world of work, people-data has never been more important.
It gives companies the information they need to identify the depth and scope of people issues, anticipate and solve challenges, foster connections across their workforce and drive business outcomes.
Sitting at the center of workforce data, we leverage the unrivaled scale, breadth, and depth of our data to provide the insights businesses need to create a better world of work.
Our data is also the basis for our renowned ADP National Employment Report, which the ADP Research Institute (ADPRI) and the Stanford Digital Economy Lab recently retooled to provide a more robust, independent high-frequency view of the labor market and trajectory of economic growth in the United States.
The scale and scope of our client base provides us an unrivaled HCM dataset, and we are focused on converting our data advantage into our client’s data advantage.
We are doing this by differentiating our HCM solutions and providing our clients with insights that can help drive better decisions, and by continuing to identify and pursue new and additional data-as-a-service opportunities.
We are leading this innovation effort with ADP® DataCloud, our award-winning machine learning (ML) and workforce analytics platform which is the largest private repository of payroll information available.
Artificial intelligence (AI) drives many of the key features of ADP’s data products.
ADP’s Model-Based Benchmarks, powered by Skills Graph, also extend benchmarks to include compensation for up to 160 million workers.
Model-Based Benchmarks are driven by a set of deep learning models that extract
We are also using AI to respond to the needs of HR practitioners.
ADP’s data-driven Intelligent Self-Service solution uses predictive analytics and machine learning to proactively address common employee HR challenges before the need to contact their HR departments arises, freeing HR practitioners to focus on higher value initiatives.
It was named a “Top HR Product” at the 2022 HR Technology Conference, marking the 8th consecutive year we have received this award for continued product innovation.
ADP’s Pay Equity Storyboard combines analytics and benchmarking to help employers better understand potential pay gaps and provide them with real, up-to-date, aggregated and anonymized market data to understand how their compensation for a particular job compares to other similar employers.
Insights powered by DataCloud are particularly important with respect to diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) and, as part of our commitment to DEI, we introduced the first-of-its-kind, award-winning DEI benchmark to help companies assess DEI gaps, track their progress and achieve their goals, bolstering ADP’s suite of DEI offerings.
It also earned acclaim in Fast Company’s first-ever list of the “Next Big Things in Tech,” which
highlights tech breakthroughs that promise to define the future of their industries.
Built for dynamic teams, our next-gen HCM platform provides our clients with visibility into where work happens rather than into rigid organizational hierarchies and worker types.
And, by deploying low-code applications, clients can easily tailor the solution to their needs.
Additionally, we launched the “Roll™ by ADP” mobile-first solution – reimagining how small businesses do payroll.
Leveraging ADP’s long-standing payroll expertise and data security, small

With a modern look and feel based on our new design system, our new UX is powered by data and ML and provides intuitive workflows that are available when and where our clients and their workers need it.
We are investing in UX alignment and simplification across our strategic products and solutions, with new UX releases for RUN Powered by ADP®, MyADP, ADP® Mobile Solutions and, most recently, ADP Workforce Now®.

Risk management and strategy
At ADP, security is integral to our products, our business processes and infrastructure.
We have an enterprise-wide approach to security with the objectives of protecting client data and funds, and preventing security incidents that could adversely affect the confidentiality, integrity, or availability of our information systems and data that resides in those systems, while also improving our system resilience with the aim of minimizing the impact to our business when incidents do occur.
In connection with our business, we collect, host, store, transfer, process, disclose, use, secure, retain and dispose of large amounts of personal and business information about our clients, employees of our clients, our vendors and our employees, contractors and temporary staff.
We also collect significant amounts of funds from the accounts of our clients and transmit them to their employees, tax authorities and other payees.
As the global environment continues to grow increasingly hostile and attacks on information technology systems continue to grow in frequency, complexity and sophistication, we are regularly targeted by unauthorized parties using malicious tactics, code and viruses.
Although this is a global problem, it may affect our businesses more than other businesses because malevolent parties may focus on the amount and type of personal and business information that our businesses collect, host, store, transfer, process, disclose, use, secure, retain and dispose of, and the client funds that we collect and transmit.
ADP has implemented a cybersecurity program designed to assess, identify, and manage risks from cybersecurity threats.
Our cybersecurity policies, processes, and standards are informed by industry practices and by industry frameworks and standards such as the National Institute of Standards and Technology (“NIST”) Cybersecurity Framework and the International Organization for Standardization information security standards, including those standards for which we do not have a certification, but we do exercise judgment in selecting applicable controls from such framework or standards.
Our cybersecurity program includes:
- *Technical Safeguards.* We have implemented a layered approach to defend against cybersecurity threats.
We periodically evaluate technical controls through application security assessments, vulnerability management, penetration testing, and security audits.
- *Incident Management and Response.* A global team monitors our key applications and systems 24/7/365 to detect, investigate and respond to anomalies and incidents.
This team addresses reported or detected issues by following a defined incident lifecycle and uses an incident management system to record facts, impact and remedial actions taken.
We have established a cybersecurity incident response plan and escalation process, outlining processes for responding to incidents from identification to mitigation and notifying members of senior leadership, the board of directors and external advisors, as appropriate.
We test our plans and processes through simulation exercises, scenario planning and tabletop exercises, using findings to improve processes.
- *External and Internal Assessments.* We periodically engage assessors, consultants, auditors, and other third parties to evaluate our technology, security, and related controls and benchmark against industry practices.
We engage in both internal and external assurance and audit activities across the company multiple times a year including an annual third-party review of our overall cybersecurity program.
- *Threat Intelligence.* We maintain affiliations with cybercrime task forces and other third-party monitoring organizations.
In addition, we collaborate with professional security organizations, law enforcement and technology companies to proactively identify malicious activity.
- *Business Resiliency Program.* We have established a global, integrated business resiliency program designed to manage the impacts of technological, environmental, process and health risks on service delivery.
This program uses an integrated framework that lays out our mitigation, preparedness, response and recovery process.
- *Third-Party Risk Management.* We maintain a third-party risk management process, designed to identify and manage risks associated with our vendors and other third parties, that includes conducting security assessments prior to engagement and periodically during the engagement.
We also seek to include security and privacy terms, where appropriate, in our contracts with third-party service providers that require third parties to maintain security controls to protect our data and notify us in the event of a cybersecurity incident.
- *Security Awareness and Training Program*.
Our security training and awareness program is a continuous, dynamic initiative, designed to develop and maintain a security-focused culture and empower our associates to make responsible, secure decisions.
As part of this awareness program, we communicate to our associates on a regular basis regarding key security topics and current events, best practices for addressing such cybersecurity threats, and
gamification to reinforce effective behaviors.
All associates are also required to take an annual, interactive security training program that includes an overview of key security topics, policies and responsibilities.
We have also integrated cybersecurity related risks into our enterprise risk management program, which is designed to identify, prioritize, assess, monitor and mitigate the various risks confronting ADP, including cybersecurity risks.
Our enterprise risk management team conducts a range of activities, including an annual enterprise risk management assessment.
We have been, and continue to be, the subject of cybersecurity attacks, including unauthorized intrusion, malicious software infiltration, network disruption, and denial of service.
Although we believe that we maintain a robust program of information security and controls and none of the cybersecurity incidents that we have identified to date have materially affected us, including our business strategy, results of operations, or financial condition, we cannot provide assurances that a cybersecurity incident will not materially affect us, or our business strategy, results of operations or financial condition in the future.
For additional information on cybersecurity related risks, see “Item 1A.
Risk Factors” of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Governance
A cross-functional, enterprise-wide management program operates to evaluate our global cybersecurity program’s effectiveness and members of the company’s executive committee, through an executive security council, routinely review strategy, policy, program effectiveness, standards enforcement and cyber issue management.
Our chief information security officer (“CISO”) leads our global cybersecurity program and oversees the global cybersecurity services team, which is responsible for monitoring, identifying, assessing and managing cybersecurity threats across ADP.
Our CISO reports to our chief security officer (“CSO”), who leads our global security organization and is responsible for cybersecurity, fraud prevention, operational risk management, client security management, and workforce protection.
Our CSO has over 20 years of experience in a range of security roles, including serving as a chief security officer at another public company, and participates in various cyber security organizations.
