Most federal cybersecurity reporting rules are duplicative, study finds
A Government Accountability Office report found that 80 of 117 federal cybersecurity regulations contain duplicate reporting requirements, with seven out of 10 rules requiring written reports to agencies overlapping elsewhere. Harmonization efforts under the Biden administration have stalled under Trump, with a March 2024 executive order pausing work while the administration conducts a review. The fragmentation affects critical infrastructure sectors, which may face multiple conflicting reporting obligations depending on regulatory jurisdiction.
Why it matters: Critical infrastructure operators and financial services firms face compliance burden and confusion from overlapping federal incident reporting rules; practitioners should track the pending CIRCIA regulation and ongoing harmonization study to understand which reporting frameworks will apply.
