Transparency & AccountabilitySmall firms would see no new help — a watchdog would check whether federal cyber programs work.
Transparency & Accountability
GAO is the watchdog Congress uses to check its own programs. Its report would say which cyber programs work, which ones owners never heard of, and what basic safety steps are missing.
More about this bill
If you run a small business, you would see no change in your day-to-day work. Congress's own watchdog, the Government Accountability Office, would run a study instead. It would look at the federal help that already exists for small firms facing hackers, scams, and fraud. That includes tools to spot risks, plan for an attack, and find money to pay for better defenses. The study would name the most common attacks on small firms. It would also check whether owners know these programs exist and actually use them. It would say whether the programs work and what basic protections they leave out. The findings and suggested fixes go to the small business committees in the House and Senate. No new money is set aside for the work. The bill also sets no deadline for the report.
