Analysis of the United States Capitol Police Insider Threat Detection Program

In accordance with our annual plan, the Office of Inspector General (OIG) conducted an analysis of the United States Capitol Police (USCP or the Department) Insider Threat Detection Program. The objective of our analysis was to determine how effectively the Department protects its information systems, which contain National Security Information and Law Enforcement Sensitive data, from threats posed by employees, especially those with special or elevated access to unclassified information technology systems or information based on their job description function.  The scope of the analysis included evaluation of controls, processes, and operations from October 1, 2015, through March 31, 2017.
