www.govexec.com Changes to the Federal Information Security Management Act will require federal agencies to report on how they are protecting private information, starting at the end of this fiscal year, according to a memo released from the Office of Management and Budget Friday.
FISMA, which took effect in 2002, requires agencies to conduct annual reviews of information security programs and report the status of complying with security guidelines.
The changes outlined in the memo are aimed at enhancing protection of personal information "to maintain a comprehensive context for security and privacy of federal information across government," according to OMB.
