More specific information may be obtained by writing to the following 
address: U.S. Department of State; Director, Office of Information 
Programs and Services; A/GIS/IPS; 2201 C Street NW, Room B-266; 
Washington, DC 20520.

ADMINISTRATIVE, TECHNICAL, AND PHYSICAL SAFEGUARDS:
    All Department of State network users are given cyber security 
awareness training which covers the procedures for handling Sensitive 
but Unclassified (SBU) information, including personally identifiable 
information (PII). Annual refresher training is mandatory. In addition, 
all Department OpenNet network users are required to take the Foreign 
Service Institute distance learning course instructing employees on 
privacy and security requirements, including the rules of behavior for 
handling PII and the potential consequences if it is handled 
improperly. Before being granted access to Integrated Logistics 
Management Records, a user must first be granted access to the 
Department of State computer network.
    Department of State employees and contractors may remotely access 
this system of records using non-Department owned information 
technology. Such access is subject to approval by the Department's 
mobile and remote access program and is limited to information

[[Page 3885]]

maintained in unclassified information systems. Remote access to the 
Department's information systems is configured in compliance with OMB 
Circular A-130 multifactor authentication requirements and includes a 
time-out function.
    All Department of State employees and contractors with authorized 
access to records maintained in this system of records have undergone a 
thorough background security investigation. Access to the Department of 
State, its annexes, and posts abroad is controlled by security guards 
and admission is limited to those individuals possessing a valid 
identification card or individuals under proper escort. Access to 
computerized files is password-protected and under the direct 
supervision of the system manager. The system manager has the 
capability of printing audit trails of access from the computer media, 
thereby permitting regular and ad hoc monitoring of computer usage. 
When it is determined that a user no longer needs access, the user 
account is disabled.
    The safeguards in the following paragraphs apply only to records 
that are maintained in government-certified cloud systems. All cloud 
systems that provide IT services and process Department of State 
information must be specifically authorized by the Department of State 
Authorizing Official and Senior Agency Official for Privacy.
    Information that conforms with Department-specific definitions for 
Federal Information Security Modernization Act (FISMA) low, moderate, 
or high categorization are permissible for cloud usage and must 
specifically be authorized by the Department's Cloud Program Management 
Office and the Department of State Authorizing Official. Specific 
security measures and safeguards will depend on the FISMA 
categorization of the information in a given cloud system. In 
accordance with Department policy, systems that process more sensitive 
information will require more stringent controls and review by 
Department cybersecurity experts prior to approval. Prior to operation, 
all Cloud systems must comply with applicable security measures that 
are outlined in FISMA, FedRAMP, OMB regulations, National Institute of 
Standards and Technology's (NIST) Special Publications (SP) and Federal 
Information Processing Standards (FIPS) and Department of State 
policies and standards.
    All data stored in cloud environments categorized above a low FISMA 
impact risk level must be encrypted at rest and in-transit using a 
federally-approved encryption mechanism. The encryption keys shall be 
generated, maintained, and controlled in a Department data center by 
the Department key management authority. Deviations from these 
encryption requirements must be approved in writing by the Department 
of State Authorizing Official. High FISMA impact risk level systems 
will additionally be subject to continual auditing and monitoring, 
multifactor authentication mechanism utilizing Public Key 
Infrastructure (PKI) and NIST 800 53 controls concerning 
virtualization, servers, storage and networking, as well as stringent 
measures to sanitize data from the cloud service once the contract is 
terminated.
