An Overview of Data Breach and Privacy Legislation
This week’s Information Week has an excellent overview of data breach and privacy legislation that is under consideration by both the House and Senate. One bill, HR 4127, the Financial Data Protection Act, is ready for a House vote when Congress reconvenes after the November elections. It would require organizations to protect personal data and provide nationwide notice in the event of a data breach.
Here are some of the other key bills:
HR 6163 - Federal Agency Data Breach Protection Act
HR 3997 - Data Accountability and Trust Act
S 2169 - Financial Data Protection Act
See my previous post for an overview of existing data breach legislation.
