On Jan. 3rd, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) issued an updated breach response policy for federal agencies, replacing a policy last updated in 2007.

The policy, set forth in memorandum M-17-12, provides minimum standards for federal agencies in preparing for and responding to breaches of personally identifiable information (PII).
