Archives officials grilled on the Hill over missing data drives

Posted on November 6, 2009 by Dissent

Max Cacas reports:

So, why can’t the National Archives hang on to its computer hard drives?

That’s the question that the House Information Policy, Census and National Archives wants answered.

Rep. William Lacy Clay (D-Missouri), is chairman of the panel, a part of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee.

The theft or loss of the Clinton hard drive was very disturbing, and we look forward to hearing a status report on the agency’s efforts to notify and identify individuals whose personal information may have been compromised.

It is more troubling, however, to hear of new instances of data breaches or losses.

The circumstances, and the agency’s handling of them cast doubt on the National Archives ability to understand existing and emerging risk in order to properly safeguard the nation’s electronic record.
