State Dept. privacy practices seen as 'satisfactory' in report to Congress
www.computerworld.com The revelation that three contract workers at the U.S. Department of State illegally accessed confidential passport records belonging to three presidential candidates comes just weeks after a report in which the agency's Inspector General gave it a "satisfactory" rating for its privacy practices.
The assessments were released in an annual report to Congress on federal agency compliance with the requirements of the Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA). The report was released March 1 by the White House's Office of Management and Budget (OMB).
In that report, the State Department got a "satisfactory" rating for the quality of its Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) processes, as well as its adherence to "existing policy, guidance and standards" with respect to privacy.
