Security Controls Over Contractor Support for Year 2000 Renovation

Abstract

In a memorandum to the Inspector General, DoD, the Assistant Secretary of Defense (Command, Control, Communications, and Intelligence) expressed concerns that system owners and users may have created increased vulnerabilities to the Defense information infrastructure and to operational readiness during the year 2000 renovation processes. The Assistant Secretary asked the Inspector General, DoD, to monitor the adherence of DoD Components to the information security requirements of the Office of the Secretary of Defense. As of March 2000, the DoD year 2000 database identified 889 renovated mission-critical systems. We conducted the audit in two phases. In phase one, we reviewed DoD policies on the use of identification and authentication controls to access information systems. In phase two, we reviewed security controls at selected locations.
