The Board Can Enhance Its Physical Security Protection Measures and Protective Intelligence Capabilities

During our evaluation of the Board’s Protective Services Unit, whose mission exclusively focuses on ensuring the physical security of the chair, we determined that the Board can enhance certain physical security operations and online threat monitoring capabilities. We also found that the PSU lacked a plan to augment its resources and lacked formal, written procedures for transitioning protection to a new chair. We made nine recommendations to address these issues, which the Board generally agreed with. Given the sensitivity of the information in our review, our full report is restricted.
