Preventing Access to Americans' Bulk Sensitive Personal Data and United States Government-Related Data by Countries of Concern
This executive order restricts countries of concern from accessing Americans' bulk sensitive personal data and U.S. government-related data through new regulations on data transactions, submarine cable licensing, and federal research funding. It directs the Attorney General and Homeland Security to issue regulations within 180 days to prohibit or restrict high-risk data transfers while avoiding broad data localization requirements or commercial decoupling. The order also mandates reports on genomic data risks and prior data transfers, with security requirements based on NIST cybersecurity frameworks.
