GAO Finds CMS Info Security Needs Improvement

Information Security: The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services Needs to Improve Controls over Key Communication Network, Full-text GAO-06-750, and Highlights, August 30, 2006.

  • “Although CMS had many key information security controls in place–which had been designed to safeguard the communication network–some were missing, and existing ones had not always been effectively implemented. Significant weaknesses in electronic access and other system controls threatened the confidentiality and availability of sensitive CMS financial and medical information when it was transmitted across the network.”
