The National Security Agency (NSA) Office of the Inspector General (OIG) released an unclassified version of its Semiannual Report to Congress (SAR) summarizing the OIG’s oversight work from October 2023 through March 2024. The SAR describes a number of oversight products completed during the reporting period. In his SAR submission message, Deputy Inspector General Kevin B. Gerrity highlighted NSA OIG’s congressionally-requested evaluation of the relationship between NSA and U.S. Cyber Command (USCYBERCOM). NSA OIG found that adequate controls or processes were not always in place to ensure resources were appropriately delineated between NSA and USCYBERCOM. Gerrity states, “Our report will help NSA improve it’s processes in the future.”On May 17, 2024 the SAR was transmitted to Congress as required by the Inspector General Act of 1978, as amended.
