U.S. government agencies' cyber-security and record-keeping worse than previously thought
DominoPower Magazine - July 2008
The United States Government Accountability Office (GAO) is the audit, evaluation, and investigation arm of the United States Congress. This month, the GAO released a 74-page report entitled "National Archives and Selected Agencies Need to Strengthen E-Mail Management". After reading the report, we made three key observations. The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) has completely abdicated responsibility for investigating records management in the U.S. government, putting all U.S. government record-keeping at risk. The four agencies investigated by the GAO aren't doing all that bad by government standards, but by corporate standards, oh boy! And, it wouldn't be a new article with a new security risk, this time there's a whopper at the Department of Homeland Security and another at the Federal Trade Commission.
