Privacy and Data Protection Alert

This client alert describes legislation which Congress is considering introducing to require all publicly traded companies in the United States to certify to the SEC their compliance with minimum computer security standards. Prior to the introduction of the legislation within the next three months, Congress is soliciting comments and alternative proposals from the business community. The business community has been put on notice, however, that even if it formulates a strong alternative, legislation may still be required, if only to codify industry’s ideas.
