Bill overview
The Data Accountability and Trust Act aims to strengthen data security and consumer protection by requiring businesses to implement robust information security practices and provide timely notification to individuals in the event of a data breach. Specifically, it mandates the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to establish regulations for information security, including requirements for information brokers, and to enforce penalties for non-compliance. The bill also establishes procedures for notifying affected individuals and coordinating with credit reporting agencies and other relevant agencies.
