Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 241 / Monday, December 18, 2017 / Notices
Accordingly, the Information
Technology (IT) Sector, represented by
industry via the IT Sector Coordinating
Council (SCC) and by government via
the IT Government Coordinating
Council (GCC), established the IT Sector
Small and Midsized Business (SMB)
Cybersecurity Best Practices Working
Group (‘‘Working Group’’) to develop
best practices for implementing the
NIST Cybersecurity Framework in the
SMB community. The Working Group,
which consists of industry and
government representatives, developed
the SMB Cybersecurity Survey to
determine return on investment (ROI)
metrics for NIST Cybersecurity
Framework adoption among SMB
stakeholders. This process will assess
the effectiveness of the NIST
Cybersecurity Framework. This process
will also establish a baseline for ROI
metrics, which have not previously
existed in the SMB community. The IT
Sector-Specific Agency (SSA),
headquartered in DHS NPPD CS&C, is
supporting the Working Group’s survey
development.
DHS is not administering, controlling
or soliciting the collection of the
information via the survey. The IT SCC
will administer the survey and
anonymize the data, which will then be
sent to DHS for analysis. As part of the
survey process, the IT SCC will collect
point of contact (POC) information but
will not include that information on the
anonymized dataset they submit to
DHS. As specified in more detail below,
the IT SCC will not only anonymize the
data but will also remove any personally
identifiable information (PII) from the
data prior to transmitting to DHS. DHS
will aid with the statistical analysis
where needed, but would not be
working with the individual responses
to the questionnaire.
The questionnaire will be distributed
to SMBs and is a two-part survey.
Questions 1–11 of the survey are for an
organization’s leadership, as these
questions pertain to high level
information about the company (core
function, number of employees, etc.).
The remaining questions are intended
for the Chief Information Security
Officer (CISO) or appropriate IT staff, as
these questions are technical and ask
about the IT security of the company.
As identified above, once the survey
is administered by the private sector
partners of the IT SCC to the member
organizations, the private sector
partners of the IT SCC will compile the
collected raw inputs and will (a) assign
unique random identifiers to each of the
responses, (b) scrub any PII from the
microdata, (c) conduct quality assurance
against the raw input. These processing

steps (a–c) will be implemented PRIOR
to transmitting the resulting dataset to
DHS for statistical analysis. This survey
represents a new collection.
DHS will use anonymized data to
conduct their analysis. The intent is for
DHS to only receive derivative
products—anonymized micro-dataset to
come up with the summary statistics, or
aggregated summary results. The
analysis will determine ROI information
for NIST Cybersecurity Framework
adoption in the SMB community. The
results of this analysis will be available
to the SMB community to develop best
practices on how to use the
Cybersecurity Framework for business
protection and risk management.
OMB is particularly interested in
comments that:
1. Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility;
2. Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
3. Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
4. Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including through the
use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submissions
of responses.
