The HHS Cybersecurity Modernization Act would authorize the HHS secretary to reorganize the department’s cybersecurity workforce, according to a press release posted Wednesday on the House Energy and Commerce Committee’s website.
The bill would require HHS to create a plan on the coordination of department offices with regulatory authority over healthcare cybersecurity as well as how the department will differentiate its internal cybersecurity responsibility from its role in as a guide of the healthcare sector.
Under the proposed legislation, HHS must also develop a plan on how it will balance its roles as the regulator and the sector-specific agency for healthcare.
