Cybersecurity Logging Enforcement and Accountability Reporting Act

Sponsored By: Representative Walkinshaw, James R. [D-VA-11]

In Committee

Summary

DHS accountability for event logging requirements is the bill's central aim. It would require the Department of Homeland Security to report on its progress meeting federal event logging rules from Executive Order 14028, OMB Memorandum M-26-14, and NIST Special Publication 800-53. The report must be unclassified, submitted within 180 days, include an executive summary published on a public DHS website, and be followed by a briefing to the appropriate congressional committees within 30 days.

Show full summary
  • Department of Homeland Security staff and managers: They would have to analyze current implementation, identify gaps in guidance, policy, and resources, and recommend policy or resource changes in a single report.
  • Four congressional committees: House Homeland Security, House Appropriations, Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs, and Senate Appropriations would receive the report and a briefing within 30 days of submission.
  • General public: An unclassified executive summary must be posted on a publicly accessible DHS website so the public can read the findings and recommendations.
