Incident Reporting

A White House AI task force urged regulators to consider at least 12 months of liability flexibility for organizations that voluntarily report cyber incidents in good faith, citing AI-driven threats and potentially outdated standards. The recommendation is not binding policy or a procurement announcement; contractors should track it separately from CISA’s forthcoming incident-reporting rule.

CISA’s proposed CIRCIA rule was submitted to OIRA on October 1, 2026, and remains under interagency review—not finalized or in effect. Contractors should monitor the rule while assessing state breach-notification deadlines, incident-response readiness, supplier controls, and potential False Claims Act exposure.
