Report: Incomplete Contractor Systems Inventory and a Lack of Oversight Limit EPA’s Ability to Facilitate IT Governance

Report #15-P-0290, September 21, 2015

What We Found

By not having a complete inventory of contractor systems, and by not assessing the operating effectiveness of contractor control environments in which systems are placed, the EPA risks being unable to protect its resources and data from undue harm.
