DHS OIG: Oversight Needed of Support Services, Intelligence Systems Information Technology Security Program

    OIG-09-80 – Better Oversight Needed of Support Services Contractors in Secure Border Initiative Programs: “U.S.
    Customs and Border Protection has not established adequate controls and effective oversight of contract workers responsible for providing Secure Border Initiative program support services. Because of the Department of Homeland Security’s aggressive Secure Border Initiative program schedule coupled with shortages of government program managers and acquisition specialists, in the early years of the Secure Border Initiative program, U.S. Customs and Border Protection relied on contractors to fill the skills gap and get the program underway. U.S. Customs and Border Protection continues to rely heavily on contract personnel, who comprise more than 50% of the Secure Border Initiative workforce.”
