Information System Security: Controls Over the Use and Protection of Social Security Numbers Within DoD

Abstract

The objective was to determine whether DoD agencies maintain appropriate controls over the access, disclosure, and use of SSN information by third parties. Specifically, we determined whether the selected DoD agencies made disclosures of SSNs to third parties for legal purposes, whether selected DoD agencies had appropriate controls over the contractors' and other entities' access and use of SSNs, and whether the selected agencies had adequate controls over access to individuals' SSNs maintained in their databases. In addition, we verified the information on the questionnaires completed for the GAO.
