The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Office of Inspector General conducted an audit of the Department's IT security program for Fiscal Year 2014, assessing compliance with the Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA). The audit revealed ongoing improvements in USDA's IT security posture but highlighted significant weaknesses, including inadequate implementation of prior recommendations, insufficient risk management policies, and failures in incident response and reporting. The report emphasizes the need for USDA to enhance its security controls across various areas such as continuous monitoring, configuration management, identity and access management, and contingency planning. It also calls for the completion of outstanding recommendations from previous audits to strengthen overall security.
