Federal Times: The Office of Personnel Management has improved security practices in the wake of its 2015 data breaches, but further implementation is needed, according to a public version of a sensitive report released August 3 by the Government Accountability Office.
After the personal information for 4.2 million federal employees and the security clearance background information for 21.5 million individuals was compromised in 2015, OPM was given 19 recommendations from the United States Computer Emergency Readiness Team.
The report details the status of these recommendations. Of them, 11 were found to be completed, four needed further improvements, and the remaining four were in progress.
