Impactful Policy Frameworks
NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0 (2024)
NIST CSF 2.0 provides updated guidance on managing cybersecurity risks, expanding its scope beyond critical infrastructure to all organizations, with a new Govern function emphasizing organizational-wide cybersecurity risk management.
This framework will increasingly influence the cybersecurity services offered by MSPs and the compliance requirements for technology vendors, creating new opportunities for Marketopia to help clients market their adherence to these standards.
American Data Privacy and Protection Act (ADPPA - Proposed)
The ADPPA is a comprehensive federal privacy bill currently under consideration, aiming to establish a national standard for data privacy rights and protections for consumers across the US.
If enacted, this act will standardize data handling and privacy requirements for all IT channel players, necessitating significant adjustments in data collection, usage, and marketing practices for Marketopia's clients, and creating a need for compliance-focused marketing.
Executive Order on Improving the Nation's Cybersecurity (EO 14028, 2021)
This Executive Order mandates several actions to improve U.S. cybersecurity, including enhancing software supply chain security, establishing a Cybersecurity Safety Review Board, and improving information sharing between the government and the private sector.
The EO's emphasis on supply chain security and information sharing directly impacts technology vendors and MSPs by requiring more rigorous security practices and transparency, driving demand for services that demonstrate compliance and secure product offerings.
