Recommendations

Disclaimer: Open/Closed recommendations are updated semiannually.

We recommend that the Director move the chief information security officer position and
staff to a new office that is independent from the chief information officer. These two separate
offices should both report to the same senior executive.

We recommend that the Chief Information Officer perform a full security assessment of the
General Support System to obtain a complete understanding of system weaknesses.

We recommend that the Peace Corps further defines and implements the ERM program to
ensure information security risks are communicated and monitored at the system, business
process, and entity levels.

We recommend that the Peace Corps consistently improve and implement its inventory
management process to ensure information system, hardware, and software inventories are
accurate, complete, and up-to-date.
