The demands of the war on terror also drive agencies to extract as much value as possible from the information available to them, adding to the potential for compromising privacy. Recognizing that securing the homeland and protecting the privacy rights of individuals are both important goals, the Congress has asked GAO to perform several reviews of DHS programs and their privacy implications over the past several years. For this hearing, GAO was asked to testify on key privacy challenges facing DHS. To address this issue, GAO identified and summarized issues raised in its previous reports on privacy and assessed recent governmentwide privacy guidance. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-07-630T/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-07-630T.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-07-630T/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-07-630T.pdf GAO-07-630T https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-07-630T Testimony GAO-07-630T; Homeland Security: Continuing Attention to Privacy Concerns is Needed as Programs Are Developed; Data collection Data mining Government information Government information dissemination Homeland security Information disclosure Information security Information technology Policy evaluation Privacy law Program evaluation Reporting requirements Right of privacy Information sharing DHS Visitor and Immigrant Status Indicator Technology Program Public Law 107-347 H.
