What's In Scope

How Cybersecurity Legislation bills are selected

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.

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.
