What this bill does
H.R. 10238, the Cybersecurity for Small Businesses Act of 2026, would direct the Small Business Administration (SBA) to develop and share information and resources to help small businesses improve their cybersecurity and adopt best practices. The SBA would work with the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency in creating this material. Separately, the bill requires the SBA, coordinating with the Department of Defense and other relevant federal agencies, to provide small businesses seeking federal contracts or subcontracts with information on complying with the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification program or its successor, distributed through Small Business Development Centers, SBA district offices, and SBA's website.
The bill mainly affects small business concerns—especially those pursuing federal contracts—as well as SBA staff, the Chief Counsel for Advocacy within SBA's Office of Advocacy, and federal agencies involved in cybersecurity or contracting. It requires SBA's Chief Counsel for Advocacy to annually consult on best practices for disseminating cybersecurity information and to submit annual reports to Congress on small businesses that contacted the office about cybersecurity issues, starting 90 days after enactment.
The bill was introduced on September 2, 2026, by Rep. Tony Wied along with two cosponsors, and referred to the House Committee on Small Business. It has not yet received a committee vote or floor consideration, and would need to pass the House, the Senate, and be signed by the President to become law.
