Chapter 13: Privacy Issues in Civil Litigation and Government Investigations

CIPP/US cybersecurity information sharing guide

The Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act provides a statutory framework for voluntary sharing of defined cyber threat information, subject to its terms and safeguards.

Practical example

For a threat-sharing proposal, identify the indicator, recipient, legal authority and data minimisation or privacy issue before selecting a rule.

Common mistake

Relying on an old expiry or extension statement instead of checking the current statute and government guidance at the time of analysis.

The Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act is a federal statute. Current status, definitions and conditions should be checked from primary government sources before relying on it.

For CIPP/US study, distinguish voluntary information-sharing authority from separate privacy, security, disclosure or litigation questions.
