Cybersecurity Legislation Tracker
Security obligations are being written into statute, one sector at a time
A curated tracker for cybersecurity legislation that follows the duty rather than the industry, with a monthly issue you can forward.

The Problem
There Is No Cybersecurity Code To Read
The obligations are scattered across utilities statutes, insurance codes, procurement rules, hospital licensing and state agency IT law, and each one arrives under a different committee.
Sector tracking returns everything and nothing
Follow "the electric grid" and you get rate cases. Follow "financial institutions" and you get consumer lending. The sector is not the subject. The duty is: report an incident inside seventy-two hours, maintain a written program, hold a vendor to a standard.
Reporting deadlines are what clients get wrong
They are short, they differ by state and by sector, and they change by amendment rather than by new statute. A client usually discovers the deadline moved at the moment they need to meet it.
The bill that matters is often one definition
Whether industrial control systems and SCADA fall inside a definition of covered infrastructure decides who has an obligation at all. That is one clause in a long bill, and it is never in the title.
What's In Scope
Defined in writing, measured against every bill
In scope is any bill imposing security duties on an identifiable party: incident notification to a regulator or an affected person, written information security programs and reasonable security standards, ransomware payment restrictions and disclosure, vendor and supply chain requirements, and the treatment of industrial control systems and supervisory control and data acquisition systems.
What this tracker does not cover
State administrative codes, agency advisories and threat intelligence are out of scope. Federal rulemaking arrives through Regulatory Watch, which is the Federal Register only and permanently so.
Scope is defined by a written topic profile that every bill is measured against. The profiles are drafted by a model and validated by retrieval measurement against a judged set of bills, not reviewed by an attorney. LawSignals is a research tool and does not provide legal advice.

Frequently Asked Questions
What counts as a cybersecurity bill here?
Any bill imposing a security duty on an identifiable party: incident notification, written information security programs, reasonable security standards, ransomware payment rules, vendor requirements, and the treatment of industrial control and SCADA systems.
Why not track by sector?
Because the sector is not the subject. A utilities bill is usually a rate case and a financial institutions bill is usually consumer lending. This tracker is scoped to the obligation, so a hospital licensing bill and a procurement bill arrive together when both impose the same duty.
Does it cover federal cybersecurity rulemaking?
Through Regulatory Watch, which reads the Federal Register and leads with open comment deadlines. State administrative codes are outside the product permanently.
Who decides what is relevant?
A written topic profile, drafted by a model and validated by retrieval measurement against a judged set of bills. It is not reviewed by an attorney.
