12/14/2020 - Architect of the Capitol Fiscal Year 2020 Financial Statements Audit Management Letter [Report Details] Audit - Open Recommendations

1
Ensure that AOC staff responsible for evaluating SOC 1® reports adequately understand the impact of controls performed by subservice organizations on AOC’s financial systems and consider whether the absence of SOC 1® testing of these controls requires implementation of additional Complementary User Entity Controls (CUEC).
2
Determine whether the NFC, IPP, and subservice provider SOC 1® reports will be delivered in a timely manner and contain the following information required for an effective review and analysis.
3
Complete an IPP/TWAI-specific risk assessment to ensure implementation of key controls relevant to the AP financial statement assertion (e.g., through complete and timely SOC 1® reports and/or internal AOC CUECs). If the AOC becomes aware that the content of IPP/TWAI-related SOC 1® reports will continue to be provided in an untimely manner or presented in redacted format, AOC management should implement, through its risk assessment, a process to separately identify and assess mitigating and compensating controls to its environment. Additionally, for known control deficiencies at the service and key subservice providers, the AOC should identify compensating control(s) to mitigate the risks within the AOC control environment.
4
Complete an NFC-specific risk assessment to ensure implementation of key controls relevant to the Payroll financial statement assertion (e.g., through complete and timely SOC 1® reports and/or internal AOC CUECs). If the AOC becomes aware that the content of NFC-related SOC 1® reports will continue to be provided in an untimely manner, AOC management should implement, through its risk assessment, a process to separately identify and assess mitigating and compensating controls to its environment. Additionally, for known control deficiencies at the service and key subservice providers, the AOC should identify compensating control(s) to mitigate the risks within the AOC control environment.
5
Update AOC patching guidance by setting specific timelines for implementation related to high-risk patches.
6
Prioritize application of specific patches based on the security impacts, versus the functional impacts of the patch application.
7
Implement critical security patches within prescribed timelines, remediate vulnerabilities through configuring the software (e.g., turning off or limiting access to ports or services), or obtain and document the open vulnerabilities in a Plan of Action and Milestones.
