In 2003 GAO designated the merger of 22 separate federal entities into the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) as a high risk area because of the criticality of the department's mission and the enormous transformation challenges that the department faced. Given that the effective use of information technology (IT) is a critical enabler of this merger, GAO has previously reported on a number of DHS efforts aimed at institutionalizing an effective information and technology governance structure and investing in new IT systems that are intended to better support mission operations. Now that DHS has been operating for over a year, GAO was asked to, based largely on its prior work, describe DHS's progress in meeting its information and technology management challenge. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-04-702/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-04-702.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-04-702/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-04-702.pdf GAO-04-702 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-04-702 Other Written Product GAO-04-702; Department of Homeland Security: Formidable Information and Technology Management Challenge Requires Institutional Approach; Chief information officers Computer security Counterterrorism Federal agency reorganization Information resources management Information technology National preparedness Performance measures Strategic information systems planning Systems design Agency missions Systems management Enterprise architecture Homeland security Human capital DHS Visitor and Immigrant Status Indicator Technology Program Title 40 Section 11313 40 U.S.C. 11313 Title 515 Section 552a 515 U.S.C. 552a Title 844 Section 3506(a) 844 U.S.C. 3506(a) Title 1044 Section 3506(h) 1044 U.S.C. 3506(h) Title 3644 Section 3545 3644 U.S.C. 3545 Public Law 107-296 Public Law 107-347 Public Law 108-90
