Governance tracker

Federal cybersecurity, privacy, and technology governance

Every federal cybersecurity, privacy, and information technology (IT) governance document from the Privacy Act of 1974 to today: laws, executive orders, memoranda, directives, standards, and contract rules.

FedXchange's watch checks the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), the National Archives (NARA), and the Federal Register every day, and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) every week. New finds appear here the day they are found. The tracker lists public documents only.
