DOJ OIG Releases FISMA Report Critiquing Criminal Division’s Information Security

A new Federal Information Security Modernization Act (FISMA) report reviewing the Justice Department’s (DoJ’s) Criminal Division (CRM) identified vulnerabilities in five of the eight domain areas in CRM’s 2018 information security program and practices. The public report, released May 23, only summarized the full audit, but the summary said that DoJ’s Office of the Inspector General issued eight recommendations to CRM to improve its information security program. CRM agreed with the recommendations.
