US-FL: Operational Resilience & Critical Infrastructure

#

Florida has no DORA-style prudential operational-resilience regime specific to payments; the operative baseline protection is the Florida Information Protection Act (FIPA), a strict 30-day breach-notification law enforced by the Attorney General, supplemented by periodic OFR cybersecurity industry alerts to licensees.

Operational Resilience & Critical Infrastructure

Florida's operative baseline for payments-sector operational resilience is the Florida Information Protection Act (FIPA), s.501.171, F.S., which mandates breach notification to the Department of Legal Affairs within 30 days for breaches affecting 500 or more Florida residents, among the strictest notification windows in the United States, enforced by the Attorney General with penalties of up to $500,000 per incident. No dedicated DORA-equivalent prudential operational-resilience or critical-third-party-outsourcing regime for payments firms or MSBs was identified in Florida beyond FIPA and periodic OFR cybersecurity industry alerts.

Outlook

No material change to Florida's operational-resilience baseline was identified this cycle; FIPA's 30-day breach-notification standard remains the reference point absent a dedicated payments-resilience regime. Continued absence of a DORA-equivalent framework should be monitored as stablecoin issuance brings new technology-dependent infrastructure into scope from October 2026.
