Audit: USAID needs to better protect the large amounts of personal identifiable data that the agency collects. The audit notes that USAID has made significant improvements since 2014, when another investigation found the agency struggling with ensuring that the personal data it collected remained secured. USAID agreed with four of the five recommendations outlined in the report, but only partially agreed with another recommendation concerning the publishing System of Records Notices, or SORNs, in the Federal Register. The agency plans to implement all five recommendations, including measuring the effectiveness of data loss prevention tools.”]
