US Federal Trade Commission
USftc.gov
The US Federal Trade Commission enforces Section 5 of the FTC Act against unfair or deceptive business practices, a power it has applied to companies with inadequate data security, and the GLBA Safeguards Rule for financial institutions; unlike the UK's ICO or the EU's national authorities, it does not administer a single federal breach-notification law of its own. Breach Census does not currently collect data from the FTC: there is no ingest pipeline for it, so no incidents or actions sourced from it appear on the site yet.
