+July 27, 2022
+Time: 12:00 PM ET
+Duration: 60 Minutes
The Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) is a U.S. government interagency committee with the responsibility to review foreign investments in U.S. businesses and real estate transactions for national security implications. CFIUS is ultimately concerned with protecting the national security of the U.S. via a National Security Agreement (NSA) with the business. NSAs include particularities around reporting requirements, the security protocols in handling protected data from American nationals, identifying protected data classes, ensuring that only approved screened employees can access protected data, ensuring compliance with data structures, identifying data sources (systems, applications, repositories), performing risk assessments on those data sources, prioritizing mitigation of protected data inside such data sources, and more.
The paramount and most challenging requirements center on the identification and safeguarding of critical information assets. The completeness and accuracy of enterprise-critical asset identification, monitoring, and security are vital for a comprehensive CFIUS compliant cybersecurity program. With a solid understanding of requirements, roles, and responsibilities, IT Security, Compliance, Privacy, Information Governance, and Legal Discovery professionals can successfully navigate the difficulties of CFIUS compliance challenges and fulfill business objectives.
In this informational presentation, our team which is approved by the CFIUS Monitoring Agencies (CMAs) and brings first-hand delivery of CFIUS Third-Party Provider services in these areas ranging from data protection and privacy to identity access management and data loss prevention will discuss and explain the best approaches, protocols, and practices for successfully guiding an organization’s data in a world of nation-state bad actors and insider threats.
