Board Report: 2022-IT-B-009R June 15, 2022
As part of our work related to the Federal Information Security Modernization Act of 2014, we reviewed select information security controls for the Board's Secure Document System. The SDS provides for the secure distribution of Federal Open Market Committee documentation to authorized staff at the Board and the Federal Reserve Banks.
Overall, the SDS security controls we tested were operating effectively, and access to SDS information was appropriately provisioned. Our report includes a recommendation to strengthen configuration management processes for the SDS application and a matter for management consideration on improving access controls.
Given the sensitivity of this review, our full report is restricted.
