This bill directs the Government Accountability Office (GAO), the federal government's audit and investigative agency, to study existing federal cybersecurity programs and resources available to small businesses. The study will examine what cybersecurity assistance programs currently exist, how aware small business owners are of these resources, how well the different programs work together, and how effective they are at helping businesses identify risks, prepare for attacks, and recover from cyber incidents. The GAO will also identify any gaps in the assistance offered and make recommendations for improvement. The bill affects small business owners across the country who may benefit from cybersecurity help and federal agencies that operate these programs. No additional funding is authorized for this study, meaning the GAO must conduct it within its existing budget.
