The Cyber Incident Reporting for Critical Infrastructure Act (CIRCIA)
CIRCIA is a federal mandate designed to strengthen national security by providing the government with real-time visibility into cyber threats. It requires organizations in 16 critical sectors—including energy, healthcare, and financial services—to report substantial cyber incidents and ransomware payments within strict timelines.
Mandatory Reporting Timelines
Covered entities must report incidents within 72 hours and ransom payments within 24 hours.
Data Preservation Requirements
Organizations are required to preserve all relevant forensic artifact data for at least two years.
Liability & Compliance Risk
Failure to comply may lead to daily civil penalties reaching up to $500,000 per day.
