NASA’s Office of Inspector General has run its eye over the aerospace agency’s privacy regime and found plenty to like – but improvements are needed.
In an audit [PDF] published Tuesday, the OIG found NASA has a “comprehensive privacy program that includes processes for determining whether information systems collect, store, and transmit [personally identifiable information] PII; publishing System of Records Notices; and providing general privacy training to its workforce.”
That’s a welcome assessment, given NASA employs around 16,000 people and – as with all government agencies – collects PII about them and the contractors, partners, and members of the public it engages.
