A nuclear power plant, no. Because, its most likely public property and so govt should have a say in its security. Even if it was a privately owned nuclear power plant, a breach would catastrophically and directly affect people who are not just its customers.

But, a bank, which is a privately owned entity. I think yes. If I own a bank and have bad security practices, and a breach impacts only my customers. I think the customers have the right to sue the bank but its up to me to decide what security I use, and if its not good the customers are free to choose to do business with another bank. But I don't think the govt should decide what level of security is sufficient?

Think of it this way, does this imply if my house is robbed I could be held liable because I chose to use locks on my house that were non compliant to govt regulation?
