HUD's 'Sumo Logic' System Pins Down Security Logs
Published Date: 8/13/2026
Notice
Summary
Pursuant to the provisions of the Privacy Act of 1974, as amended, the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), Office of Chief Information Officer (OCIO), and Infrastructure and Operations (IOO), is issuing a public notice of its intent to establish a Privacy Act System of Records Notice (SORN) titled "Sumo Logic." Sumo Logic serves as HUD's Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) tool, supporting centralized log collection, aggregation, and security monitoring. It collects system log data from HUD applications, infrastructure, security tools, and cloud platforms, and performs event correlation, custom searches, dashboard monitoring, scheduled reporting, and other standard security monitoring. This newly established system will be included in HUD's inventory of record systems. HUD had previously published a SORN for this system on June 10, 2026 (91 FR 35248). However, the underlying authority was revoked and replaced. Accordingly, HUD withdraws the SORN published on June 10, 2026, and instead publishes this SORN with the updated authority.
Analyzed Economic Effects
5 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 3 costs, 2 mixed.
HUD will collect specific personal identifiers
Sumo Logic will store items such as device identifiers, full names, email addresses, phone numbers, geolocation information, user IDs, and web URLs from HUD systems. These categories of records are explicitly listed as being collected.
HUD may share records with contractors and agencies
HUD may disclose Sumo Logic records to contractors, grantees, other federal agencies, state/local entities, law enforcement, and courts for purposes such as investigations, breach response, research, and litigation. Routine uses explicitly list multiple disclosure categories.
HUD will log many users' system activity
HUD is establishing a new system called "Sumo Logic" that will collect security logs about people who access or interact with HUD systems. The system explicitly covers federal employees, contractors, vendors/partners, and members of the public whose accounts or devices interact with HUD networks or services.
Records kept up to 30 months (possible longer use)
HUD will manage Sumo Logic logs under General Records Schedule 3.2 and these cybersecurity logging records can be destroyed when 30 months old. The notice also says longer retention is authorized for business use under the listed disposition authority.
Access, contesting requires ID and notarized proof
If you want to see or contest records about yourself in Sumo Logic, HUD requires a written request with full name and contact information plus either a notarized statement or an unsworn declaration under 24 CFR 16.4. Access also requires HSPD-12 credentials and network/ID controls for users inside HUD.

2026-16228, HUD's Implementation of the Fair Housing Act's Disparate Impact Standard; Amendments to HUD's Title VI Regulations
HUD published a notice of proposed rulemaking in January of 2026 that proposed to remove HUD's disparate-impact regulations and leave interpretation of disparate-impact liability under the Fair Housing Act to the courts. This supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking continues HUD's efforts to remove or revise regulations that prohibit conduct having a disparate impact without evidence of discriminatory intent. Through this rule, HUD is proposing to remove provisions in HUD's Title VI implementing regulations that impose disparate-impact liability on recipients of HUD Federal financial assistance. If finalized, this rule would improve consistency within HUD's own regulations and between HUD's regulations and the Title VI regulations recently revised by the Department of Justice (DOJ). This rule reopens the public comment period of HUD's January 2026 proposed rule on disparate-impact liability; HUD will only consider comments on topics related to this supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking during the reopened comment period.
