WASHINGTON—Federally insured credit unions could be required to submit cyber incident reports within 72 hours following a new proposal from the Department of Homeland Security’s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), America’s Credit Unions is suggesting.
The agency has posted a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) required by the Cyber Incident Reporting for Critical Infrastructure Act of 2022 (CIRCIA). The legislation requires CISA to develop and implement regulations requiring covered entities – including federally insured credit unions “regulated by the NCUA” – to report covered cyber incidents and ransomware payments, America’s Credit Unions said.
72 Hour Deadline
“Credit unions would have to submit a Covered Cyber Incident Report to CISA no later than 72 hours after the covered entity reasonably believes the covered cyber incident occurred,” the trade group stated. “The NCUA’s current cyber incident notification standard in Part 748 of its rules requires notice of a cyber incident within the same timeframe.”
The proposal contains potential regulations for cyber incident and ransom payment reporting, as well as other rules designed to implement the CIRCIA’s statutory requirements, ACU noted.
Credit unions can provide feedback on the NPRM; it will have a 60-day comment period once published in the Federal Register.
