Key Points

  • The Small Business Administration must follow a government watchdog’s steps to fix risks in its new computer system.
  • Within 180 days, it has to send Congress a plan for how it will manage tech projects and protect against cyber threats.
  • The plan must map out risks, set priorities, include project schedules and cost estimates, and tie fixes to clear actions.
  • Security experts must help pick contractors, and every project must track risks from start to finish.
  • After sending the plan, the agency must brief Congress within 30 days so services to small businesses become safer and more reliable.
