Director, Audit and Evaluation
On May 27, 2014, the Office of Inspector General (OIG) announced an audit of the
Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA) security and controls for the Data
Communications Program (DataComm). The announced objectives were to determine
whether (1) FAA is identifying security risks and properly mitigating them, and
(2) FAA’s contingency plan for the system limits the effects of the loss of
DataComm’s availability.
We are terminating this audit. The DataComm system is currently in development and
has not yet become operational. Consequently, it does not have a complete security
review or contingency plan available for us to test. According to FAA, the DataComm
system is scheduled for a security review in June 2015. At that time, we will
determine whether to perform this audit.
We appreciate the courtesies and cooperation of FAA representatives during our
audit. If you have any questions or would like additional information regarding this
terminated audit, please contact me at (202) 366-1407, or Nathan Custer, Program
Director, at (202) 366-5540.
