HR 6190 United States House · 118th Congress

To provide for cybersecurity prioritization in formation technology procurement.

HR 6190 requires the Department of State to prioritize cybersecurity in its information technology procurement. It mandates that the Department's Chief Information Officer submit an annual report detailing all IT contracts over $10 million, including specific cybersecurity risks posed by the technology, strategies to mitigate those risks, and justifications for selecting particular vendors and technologies. The bill directly affects the Department of State's procurement process for large-scale IT contracts, focusing on transparency and risk assessment. It does not create new funding or penalties but establishes reporting requirements to improve cybersecurity practices in federal IT acquisitions.
