► A report from the Government Accountability Office (GAO) has determined that six agencies whose risk assessment methodologies were reviewed do not align with standards set by the Interagency Security Committee (ISC). A division of the Department of Homeland Security, the ISC is tasked with ensuring that federal buildings have adequate physical security measures, whether they’re government-owned, leased, or managed. The six agencies whose risk assessment methodologies did not align with the ISC are the Department of Interior, the Department of Veterans Affairs, the Federal Protective Service, the Federal Emergency Management Agency, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, and the Office of Personnel Management. In the report, the GAO recommended that the ISC “take action to assess member agencies' compliance and provide additional risk- assessment methodology guidance.”
