Small Business Cybersecurity Assistance Evaluation Act of 2026

The Small Business Cybersecurity Assistance Evaluation Act of 2026 directs the Government Accountability Office to conduct a comprehensive study of existing federal cybersecurity initiatives, tools, and services designed to support small businesses. The investigation will assess how effectively these resources help owners identify cyber risks, prepare for threats, recover from attacks, and secure funding for security measures. Additionally, the study will evaluate the level of awareness among small business owners regarding these programs and examine how well different federal efforts are coordinated with one another. Upon completion, the findings and recommendations for improving these services will be submitted to the relevant congressional committees without authorizing any new spending.
