Steven G. Stransky (Thompson Hine) and Lacy Rex (Oswald Companies) recently published on Law360 an article, “Preparing For New Mandatory Cyber Reporting Rules,” which can be accessed in full <a href="https://admin.thompsonhine.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Law360_-_Preparing_For_New_Mandatory_Cyber_Reporting_Rules.pdf">here</a>.

contentpilot/introduction

On March 15, 2022, The Cybersecurity Incident Reporting for Critical Infrastructure Act of 2022 (CIRCIA) was signed into law, and mandates that certain entities notify federal authorities within 72 hours of being subject to a cyber incident and within 24 hours after making certain types of ransomware payments. While the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) works on implementing regulations per the legislation, businesses should begin assessing whether their incident response plans (IRP) align with the law’s key provisions. This article summarizes CIRCIA’s most burdensome obligations and provides guidance on the initiatives that businesses can incorporate into their IRPs to comply with the law and minimize their cybersecurity risk.
