Cybersecurity Transparency for Small Defense Contractors

This act requires the Department of Defense to report on the impact of new cybersecurity requirements on small businesses. The goal is to assess compliance costs and any decrease in the number of small defense contractors, as well as to develop plans to mitigate negative effects. This will provide citizens, especially small business owners, with a clearer understanding of how these regulations affect their operations and opportunities to work with the defense sector.
Key points
The Department of Defense must assess the costs for small businesses to comply with new cybersecurity rules.
The report will show if new rules reduce the number of small businesses working with defense.
The Department of Defense must explain how it will help small businesses avoid negative impacts from new requirements.
