Of them, 11 were found to be completed, four needed further improvements, and the remaining four were in progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In particular, OPM procedures for contractor-operated systems did not detail and define proper measures that must be taken to ensure comprehensive security. Without defined guidance for information system security officers to conduct assessments, OPM will not have the assurance needed that controls on contractor-operated systems are implemented sufficiently to prevent, mitigate and respond to data breaches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">OPM will remain at a greater risk than needed if the government-wide implementation and requirements remain unfulfilled, according to the GAO report. To help OPM move forward, GAO concludes the report with five recommendations:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Update the plans of action and milestones to reflect the expected completion dates;<\/li><li>Improve the validation process associated with evidence for actions taken towards addressing the recommendations;<br><\/li><li>Update the policy reflecting the Department of Homeland Security\u2019s threat indicators and specific requirement on 24-hour scanning;<br><\/li><li>Develop and implement role-based training for staff using Continuous Diagnostics and Mitigation tools; and<br><\/li><li>Provide guidance on quality assurance processes including the evaluation of security control assessments.<br><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Of these, OPM has completely agreed on four of the recommendations and partially agreed with the last. It is unclear what about the second recommendation \u2014 improving the validation processes \u2014 that OPM did not agree with, but they did state they will review management practices to support a timelier process and closure of plans of action and milestones.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A report detailing GAO findings on the progress made by OPM to implement 19
