D-Day for federal agencies to develop breach polices, evaluate SSN use
www.scmagazineus.com Today marks the White House-imposed deadline for federal agencies to develop and implement a breach notification policy and to have reviewed their use of Social Security numbers (SSNs).
A 22-page memo from the Office of Management and Budget, issued in May, requires that agencies develop a notification policy using Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA) guidelines and other privacy legislation built on the National Institute of Standards and Technology standards.
In addition, agencies must review their use of SSNs in advance of a deadline 14 months away, by when they must establish a plan for eliminating the unnecessary use and storage of the personal identifiers.
