Department of Justice’s Implementation of a Data Security Protection and Enforcement Program
April 30, 2024
The Case
In response to President Biden’s Executive Order authorizing increased data privacy measures, Assistant Attorney General Matthew G. Olsen announced that the National Security Division of the Department of Justice is implementing a data security protection and enforcement program. The program represents another measure in the United States’ efforts to address data protection globally.
Why Does This Matter?
This implementation outlines the US government’s focus on prosecuting both corporations and individuals, with particular emphasis on financial institutions and technology companies acting as gatekeepers against data breaches.
Financial services firms are advised to prioritize data protection by understanding their data, reviewing vendor agreements, monitoring data access by consultants and investors, and ensuring compliance with regulations, especially regarding data sales.
