DOD OIG: Accountability for Defense Security Service Assets With Personally Identifiable Information

by on

D-2008-114 Accountability for Defense Security Service Assets With Personally Identifiable Information, July 24, 2008 (Project No. D2007-D000LC-00042.000)

  • “DSS management in place during the transfer of the personnel security investigation function to OPM created a lack of accountability for assets, posing an undue risk of compromising [Personally Identifiable Information] PII for military, civilian, and contractor employees who were investigated for personnel security clearances between 1997 and 2005. Through substantial efforts of its current management, DSS located and confirmed by unique identifier 308 of an estimated 501 initially unaccounted-for laptops. DSS obtained additional information
    demonstrating reasonable assurance that the remaining 193 laptops did not leave control of Government personnel; therefore, PII contained on the laptops is not at risk. Although DSS has accounted for the 501 initially unaccounted-for laptops, the initial listing of 501 laptops
    was not accurate. Additional laptops may still need to be accounted for.”
