Federal Reserve: 2026 Information Security Program Audit

available formats

A strong information security program helps protect sensitive data the Board uses to inform decisions that affect employment, inflation, and economic stability for 342 million Americans.

According to federal metrics for evaluating agencies’ information security programs, the Board’s information security program is not effective. We found weaknesses in several areas, including governance, policies, and contingency planning, and several of our recommendations from previous information security program audits remain open.

We have eight recommendations to address these issues. The Board agreed with our recommendations.
