Increasing Documentation of Privacy Activities

According to OMB’s e-gov report, agencies are increasingly

documenting their privacy program activities, and reports

from the 24 CFO act agencies indicate the following:

Seventeen provided planned, ongoing, or completed corrective

actions addressing compliance deficiencies reported by the

agency in a previous period; 20 provided privacy training

for employees and contractors, and conducted reviews of

activities required by the Privacy Act and OMB policy; 22

established written policies and procedures for conducting

privacy impact assessments; 11 used technologies enabling

continuous auditing of compliance with stated privacy

policies and practices; and nine submitted an annual report

to Congress detailing their privacy activities, including

activities under the Privacy Act and any violations.
