As part of this assessment, the owners and operators must/may identify remediation measures to address the vulnerabilities and cybersecurity gaps identified during the assessment and a plan for implementing the identified measures if necessary, and report the results to TSA. TSA will use the results of the assessments to make a global assessment of the cyber risk posture of the industry and possibly impose additional security measures as appropriate or necessary. TSA may also use the information, with company-specific data redacted, for TSA’s intelligence-derived reports. TSA and CISA may also use information submitted for vulnerability identification, trend analysis, or to generate anonymized indicators of compromise or other cybersecurity products to prevent other cybersecurity incidents. All reported information will be protected in a manner appropriate for the sensitivity and criticality of the information. Certification of Completion of SD Requirements DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY The SDs and IC took effect on December 31, 2021.
