Four financial industry trade associations have urged federal agencies to limit data collection to only what is necessary after recent cybersecurity incidents.
The American Bankers Association, Bank Policy Institute, Managed Funds Association, and Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association recommended stricter security and data protection standards for agencies.
The groups emphasized the need for agencies to notify affected companies promptly in case of security breaches and avoid centralizing sensitive data.
The OCC faced a major security incident in April involving unauthorized access to sensitive information, while the Treasury Department's workstations were breached by China-backed hackers in December.
