EO 14117 – Preventing Access to Americans’ Bulk Sensitive Personal Data and U.S. Government‑Related Data by Countries of Concern

Summary

Addresses national‑security risks from transfers of bulk sensitive personal data (including health, genomic, biometric, precise geolocation) to countries of concern. Directs the Department of Justice and other agencies to propose regulations restricting certain transactions and establishing safeguards.

Healthcare Implications

Health systems, data brokers, and app developers handling health/genomic data must evaluate cross‑border data flows and third‑party relationships. AI training and analytics that use sensitive datasets will need vendor due diligence and technical/contractual controls to avoid prohibited transfers.
