Evaluation Report: The Department's Unclassified Cyber Security Program-2003

Overview In response to the continuing threat to the Federal information resources, Congress enacted Federal Security Management Act (FISMA) in 2002 to ensure that all agencies develop and maintain adequate cyber security controls to protect information resources. As required by the office of Inspector General performed its annual independent evaluation to determine whether the Department's unclassified cyber security program protected data and information systems. The evaluation disclosed that in many instances, the Department had not acted to identify, track, and correct previously reported issues in a timely manner. Management also had not established program-level performance metrics to guide cyber security program execution or evaluate performance.
