SMALL BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION


Small Business Information Security Task Force

AGENCY: U.S. Small Business Administration.

ACTION: Notice of meeting minutes.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The SBA is issuing this notice to publish meeting minutes for 
the Small Business Information Security Task Force Meeting.

DATES: 1 p.m., Wednesday, January 12, 2011.

ADDRESSES: The meeting was held via teleconference.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant to section 507(i)(4)(A) of the 
Credit Card Accountability Responsibility and Disclosure Act of 2009, 
SBA submits the meeting minutes for the third meeting of the Small 
Business Information Security Task Force. Chairman, Mr. Rusty Pickens, 
called the meeting to order on January 12, 2011 at 1 p.m. Roll call was 
taken and a quorum was established. The meeting followed the provided 
agenda topics.
    The first item under discussion was bringing the work plan to a 
final version and to solidify which Task Force members would own the 
various topic areas. Task force members were reminded that what was 
contained on the work plan was a first attempt at aligning the subject 
areas with member expertise.
    Mr. Pickens took an action item to refine the scope requirements 
for the Task Force with specific questions of Identity Theft, Privacy, 
and Government Contracting information. Additionally, resource and 
staffing issues to support the work of the Task Force were discussed 
and Mr. Pickens clarified that there was no confirmation as to if the 
Task Force had been funded. He took an action item to work with SBA 
leadership to determine whether funding was available. Suggestions were 
made of the possibility of the corporate members providing resources 
such as software and staffing or undertaking fundraising efforts if no 
formal funding were available. It was reiterated that writers and other 
staff will be needed to sort and compile the data gathered by the Task 
Force members. Determining the end deliverable, time frame, and working 
back from the allocated funding was suggested as a better way to 
determine resource needs. A high-level budget to accompany the work 
plan was suggested as a good place to start. Mr. Pickens reminded the 
group that an informational webinar is scheduled for February 2, 2011 
and presented by the PCI Standards Group. In light of the webinar, 
there will be no official February meeting. The next official meeting 
date will be determined and distributed in advance via e-mail to the 
Task Force members.
