Federal Cyber Reporting Rules Are Still Duplicating Each Other
The problem is not missing reporting rules. It is too many rules asking for the same incident in different forms, on different clocks, from the same company. That splits incident response across compliance teams instead of helping agencies get a clean picture fast.
GAO found 80 of 117 federal cybersecurity reporting rules overlap across 37 agencies. It also said harmonization efforts have stalled, including work tied to the 2024 national security memorandum, and that some sectors can face several nearly duplicate obligations at once, including pending CIRCIA rules on top of older sector requirements.
