Information Assurance of the Defense Civilian Personnel Data Service.

Abstract

The Defense Civilian Personnel Data System (DCPDS) is an automated information system that will process sensitive-but-unclassified personnel information for at least 750,000 DoD civilian records at 23 regional personnel servicing centers and approximately 300 customer support units. The Air Force Personnel Center is developing DCPDS and reports DCPDS progress to the Major Automated Information Systems Review Council through the Office of the Assistant Secretary of the Air Force (Acquisition) and the Commander, Electronics Systems Center, Air Force Materiel Command. DCPDS life-cycle program costs are estimated at $795 million. DCPDS is scheduled for initial operational capability in June 1998 and full operational capability in September 1999. The overall audit objective was to determine the adequacy of the information assurance program for major automated information systems. Specifically, for this audit, we evaluated DCPDS security planning, risk analysis, and security management. We also evaluated the DCPDS management control program as it related to the audit objectives.
