The Office of the Inspector General will begin this month a mandatory audit into the U.S. Department of Transportation’s information management practices to make sure the department is safe-guarding personal information.
The audit will look at whether there are adequate protections to make sure the personal data isn’t disseminated and make sure the department follows its own protection regulations. Finally, the audit is concerned with whether or not the collection of specific bits of personal data is necessary.
CliftonLarsonAllen LLP is conducting the review, which will be overseen by the Office of the Inspector General.
