Security Audit

General Information

Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA) requires each federal agency to develop, document, and implement an agency-wide program to provide information security for the information and information systems that support the operations and assets of the agency, including those provided or managed by another agency, contractor, or other source. Office of Management and Budget (OMB) through Circular A-130, Appendix III, Security of Federal Automated Information Resources, requires executive agencies within the federal government to:

  • Plan for security;
  • Ensure that appropriate officials are assigned security responsibility;
  • Periodically review the security controls in their information systems; and
  • Authorize system processing prior to operations and, periodically, thereafter.
