Rep. Tom Davis (R-Va.), ranking member on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, introduced a bill today that would require agencies to better protect the sensitive data they collect and promptly notify those whose data is lost or stolen.
The Federal Agency Data Breach Protection Act directs the Office of Management and Budget to establish practices and standards for informing citizens of lost data and provides a clear definition of the type of sensitive information to which the law would apply.
In addition, it gives agency chief information officers authority to ensure that workers comply with data security laws.
