SAFEGUARDS:

NASIS is maintained with controls
meeting safeguard requirements
identified in Departmental Privacy Act
Regulations (43 CFR 2.51) for manual
and automated records. Access to
records is limited to authorized
personnel whose official duties require
such access; agency officials have access
only to records pertaining to their
agencies.
(1) Physical Security: Paper records
are maintained in locked file cabinets
and/or in secured rooms.
(2) Technical Security: Electronic
records are maintained in conformity
with Office of Management and Budget
and Departmental guidelines reflecting
the implementation of the Federal
Information Security Management Act.
Electronic data are protected through
user identification, passwords, database
permissions, and software controls.
These security measures establish
different degrees of access for different
types of users. An audit trail is
maintained and reviewed periodically
to identify unauthorized access. A
Privacy Impact Assessment was
completed for the NASIS and is updated
at least annually to ensure that Privacy
Act requirements and personally
identifiable information safeguard
requirements are met. Security
procedures are verified through annual
assessments of the applications. The
NASIS Security Assessment was last
performed 12/19/2006 in accordance
with FIPS 200 and NIST 800–53.
(3) Administrative Security: All DOI
and contractor employees with access to
NASIS are required to complete Privacy
Act, Records Management Act, and
Security Awareness Training.
