Insider Threat Program

An insider threat program helps an organization prevent, detect, and respond to the threat of an employee, contractor, or business partner misusing their trusted access to computer systems and data. Threats to the U.S. Postal Service include the theft and disclosure of sensitive, proprietary, or national security information, and the sabotage of its computer systems or data. Our objective was to determine if the Postal Service has established and implemented an effective insider threat program in accordance with Postal Service policies and best practices.
