Review of the Peace Corps' Information Security Program for FY 2023

The Federal Information Security Modernization Act of 2014 (FISMA) provides a comprehensive framework for establishing and ensuring the effectiveness of managerial, operational, and technical controls over information technology (IT) that supports Federal operations and assets and provides a mechanism for improved oversight of Federal agency information security programs. FISMA requires the head of each agency to implement policies and procedures to cost-effectively reduce IT security risks to an acceptable level. FISMA requires agency program officials, Chief Information Officers (CIO)s, Chief Information Security Officers (CISO)s, senior agency officials for privacy, and inspectors general to conduct annual reviews of the agency’s information security program.
