NIST Cybersecurity Framework, Assessment, and Auditing Act of 2017 (Sec. 2) This bill amends the National Institute of Standards and Technology Act to require the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), in developing standards for information systems, to emphasize the principle that expanding cybersecurity threats require: (1) engineering security from the beginning of a system's life cycle, (2) building more trustworthy and secure components and systems from the start, and (3) applying well-defined security design principles throughout systems. (Sec. 3) NIST must provide guidance for agencies to incorporate into their information security risk management efforts the Framework for Improving Critical Infrastructure Cybersecurity (Framework). Such guidance shall: describe how the Framework aligns or augments existing agency practices; identify any areas of conflict or overlap between the Framework and existing cybersecurity requirements; include a template for federal agencies on how to use the Framework and recommend procedures for streamlining and harmonizing existing and future cybersecurity-related requirements; recommend other procedures for compliance with cybersecurity reporting, oversight, and policy review; and be updated to reflect what NIST learns from ongoing research, cybersecurity audits, information compiled by the federal working group, and annual reports. NIST must chair a federal working group to coordinate the development of metrics and tools to measure the effectiveness of the Framework for federal agencies protecting their information and information systems. The federal working group must assist the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) in publishing annual reports on agency adoption rates and the effectiveness of the Framework. NIST must initiate an individual cybersecurity audit of certain agencies to assess the extent to which each agency meets information security standards. NIST shall prepare a needs-based plan for the audits that includes: (1) a description of staffing plans, (2) workforce capabilities, (3) methods of conducting such audits, (4) coordination with agencies to support such audits, (5) expected timeframe for the completion of the audits, and (6) other relevant information. NIST must report on the audit of each agency to: (1) OMB, (2) the OSTP, (3) the Government Accountability Office, (4) the agency being audited and its inspector general, and (5) Congress.

Support cyber and physical security bills that uphold our current security partnership with the Transportation Security Administration public-private partnership (no top-down regulatory process); public-private information sharing; liability protections for information sharing; federal R&D support; and appropriate criminal penalties for bad actors. These issues arose in: Department of Homeland Security Authorization Act HR 2825. This legislation reauthorizes Department of Homeland Security operations. AGA advocated to maintain the regulatory authority of the Department of Homeland Security's Transportation Security Administration (TSA) over pipeline security programming. S. 783 Surface and Maritime Transportation Security Act. This legislation would authorize TSA to undergo an internal review of how they perform their security functions (audits, reviews, best practice developments, etc.) on all surface transportation modes, including pipelines, and recommend improvements. Importantly, the legislation ensures that industry will be at the table to help TSA better understand problems in the field and how to partner better with the industry security community. S. 783 passed out of the Senate Commerce Committee earlier this year. We anticipate similar legislation will be introduced and moved in the House of Representatives. H. R. 1224, the NIST Cybersecurity Framework, Assessment, and Auditing Act of 2017. This legislation initially sought to authorize the National Institute for Science and Technology (NIST) to conduct audits of both private and public sector adherence to the NIST Cybersecurity Framework, a public-private non-regulatory cybersecurity maturity model that measures an entitys current cybersecurity capability. The bill passed the House Science Committee in early March 2018. H.R. 2392, the Cyber SAFETY Act of 2018. A utility sector coalition supports a slight modification to the SAFETY Act, an existing law that provides liability protection in the aftermath of a successful terrorist attack for companies that employ SAFETY Act approved anti-terrorism technologies, policies and procedures. This modification would clarify the law to specifically include cybersecurity equipment, policies, procedures, etc. H.R.4036, Active Cyber Defense Certainty Act. Rep. Tom Graves (R-GA) introduced legislation that would provide a legal/liability shield for companies that take an active defense posture when fighting cyber intrusions. H.R. 5175 - Pipeline and LNG Facility Cybersecurity Preparedness Act - a pipeline security (cyber and physical) bill that seeks to give DOE a coordinating role in government-private sector pipeline security policy activities, including security planning, response/recovery, and evaluation programs; technology advancement and related pilot programs; and workforce development. The House Energy and Commerce Committee passed this bill in late Spring 2018.

Support cyber and physical security bills that uphold our current security partnership with the Transportation Security Administration public-private partnership (no top-down regulatory process); public-private information sharing; liability protections for information sharing; federal R&D support; and appropriate criminal penalties for bad actors. These issues arose in: Department of Homeland Security Authorization Act HR 2825. This legislation reauthorizes Department of Homeland Security operations. Responding to concerns from our pipeline security partners at the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) that the legislation might weaken pipeline security programming, AGA worked with the House Homeland Security Committee and is currently working with the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee to ensure that final legislation will preserve the pipeline sectors security partnership with TSA. S. 783 Surface and Maritime Transportation Security Act. This legislation would authorize TSA to undergo an internal review of how they perform their security functions (audits, reviews, best practice developments, etc.) on all surface transportation modes, including pipelines, and recommend improvements. Importantly, the legislation ensures that industry will be at the table to help TSA better understand problems in the field and how to partner better with the industry security community. S. 783 passed out of the Senate Commerce Committee earlier this year. We anticipate similar legislation will be introduced and moved in the House of Representatives. H. R. 1224, the NIST Cybersecurity Framework, Assessment, and Auditing Act of 2017. This legislation initially sought to authorize the National Institute for Science and Technology (NIST) to conduct audits of both private and public sector adherence to the NIST Cybersecurity Framework, a public-private non-regulatory cybersecurity maturity model that measures an entitys current cybersecurity capability. H.R. 2392, the Cyber SAFETY Act of 2018. A utility sector coalition supports a slight modification to the SAFETY Act, an existing law that provides liability protection in the aftermath of a successful terrorist attack for companies that employ SAFETY Act approved anti-terrorism technologies, policies and procedures. This modification would clarify the law to specifically include cybersecurity equipment, policies, procedures, etc. H.R.4036, Active Cyber Defense Certainty Act. Rep. Tom Graves (R-GA) introduced legislation that would provide a legal/liability shield for companies that take an active defense posture when fighting cyber intrusions. H.R. 5175 - Pipeline and LNG Facility Cybersecurity Preparedness Act - a pipeline security (cyber and physical) bill that seeks to give DOE a coordinating role in government-private sector pipeline security policy activities, including security planning, response/recovery, and evaluation programs; technology advancement and related pilot programs; and workforce development.
