You are right that this should be a national security issue instead of a party issue.
However, any party that talks about national security should make this their business.
Not being totally libertarian, I am glad that the government does oversee some (but not all) parts of the private sector to prevent injury to its citizens.
I am glad that they mandate airport security to prevent physical harm.
I am glad that they FDIC insure our bank accounts to prevent financial loss.
I am glad that the Sarbanes-Oxley law was implemented to prevent entire corporations from falling, and thus hurting people's and the economy's financial health.
I believe that the government should continue on this track. They should prevent corporations from exposing private information to consulting firms that are not subject to the same laws and the same monitoring. Because the company alone will not pay the penalty for messing up. It could hurt the nation as a whole.
