Resources for Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA)
Agencies fail to comply with FISMA
government.zdnet.com Federal agencies are failing to test their IT security controls consistently, a new General Accounting Office report has found, Government Accounting News reports.
“Federal agencies have not adequately designed and effectively implemented policies for periodically testing and evaluating information security controls,” the GAO concluded after surveying 24 major agencies and conducting in-depth case studies on 30 IT systems at six of the agencies.
The report was ordered by Rep. Tom Davis (R-Va.), the original sponsor of FISMA, the Federal Information Security Management Act. Apparently no agencies are compliant with the law, passed in 2002.
