In an op-ed for The Hill, Reginald Brown, Alyssa DaCunha and Blake Roberts assert that Congress should take the following four steps to protect data disclosed during investigations:
- Congress should collect only the information necessary to an investigation.
- Congress should establish protocols to allow investigators to use the most secure data sharing arrangements available.
- Congress should enact ‘need to know’ protocols to limit access to confidential, highly sensitive, and proprietary commercial information.
- Congress must continue to bolster its training and reporting protocols.
