What it does
The SEC Data Protection Act would require the Securities and Exchange Commission to adopt data protection policies within one year of enactment to safeguard sensitive, nonpublic proprietary information obtained from investment advisers under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. These policies must address when such information is requested, safeguard it based on sensitivity, limit access to appropriate staff, and prevent unlawful use or disclosure. The bill affects the SEC and investment advisers who submit confidential data to the Commission, establishing formal procedures to protect that information. It amends Section 204 of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 to add these requirements.
