DHS' Controls Over Firearms and Other Sensitive Assets
We determined that component personnel are not always safeguarding or tracking sensitive assets that, if lost, would result in critical mission impact or loss of life. Additionally, component’s practices surrounding badges may result in unnecessary risk. We recommended that DHS enhance policy, improve oversight, and require justifications for any non-law enforcement badges. We made six recommendations to improve the tracking and safeguarding of sensitive assets. DHS concurred with all six of our recommendations
The narrative and accompanying responses submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) through the CyberScope portal provide our independent assessment of the quality of NARA’s information security practices.
We identified vulnerabilities with FAMS contributions to aviation security. Details related to FAMS operations and flight coverage presented in the report are classified or designated as Sensitive Security Information. We made five recommendations that will enhance FAMS’ overall effectiveness. We also identified a part of FAMS operations where, if discontinued, funds could be put to better use. TSA concurred with three of the recommendations and did not concur with two recommendations
