DHS Privacy Office Delivers First Quarter Fiscal Year 2012 Report to Congress

Department of Homeland Security Privacy Office, First Quarter Fiscal Year 2012 Report to Congress

  • “The PIA [Privacy Impact Assessments] process is one of the key mechanisms used to assure that the Department’s use of technologies sustains, and does not erode, privacy protections relating to the use, collection, and disclosure of PII. As of November 30, 2011, 81 percent of the Department’s Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA) systems that require a PIA were covered by a PIA, an increase from 80 percent at the end of the fourth quarter of FY 2011. Additionally, the Department has implemented a triennial review program for legacy PIAs to assess and confirm that these systems are still operating within the originally published parameters. As these systems are renewed, notification will be added to the previously published PIA to inform the public that a review has been conducted for that system.”
