Fiscal Year 2016 Independent Evaluation of the U.S. General Services Administration's Compliance with the Federal Information Security Modernization Act of 2014
The OIG teamed with Temple University to examine the neurological response to sequenced ads. Physical ads, shown twice, led to better memory and higher subjective value than any other tested sequence. Single-media advertising sequences (physical-physical and digital-digital) had better results in most of the behavioral and fMRI results.
Overall, in comparison to the prior year's FISMA review, the Department has made improvements. Specifically, the number of findings have decreased from year to year. In addition, the Department and its operating divisions have implemented continuous monitoring tools that have allowed them to gain more insight to the security compliance of their assets. However, despite the progress made to improve its information security program, opportunities to strengthen the overall information security program exist. We continued to identify weaknesses in the following areas: continuous monitoring, configuration management, identity and access management, risk management, incident response, security training, contingency planning, and contractor systems.
