GSA not tapping data on unauthorized access attempts at federal facilities, report says

Posted on February 26, 2023 by Dissent

Chris Riotta reports:

The General Services Administration is failing to act on data linked to access cards used to enter federal facilities, according to a new oversight report.

A two-year audit conducted between 2020 and 2022 revealed over 32,000 failed access attempts at GSA-managed facilities, the Office of Inspector General  report said, possibly indicating attempts to gain unauthorized access to information technology systems and secure federal facilities.

The IG report also found that GSA was not evaluating the data collected from access cards “to identify and assess the risks to its personnel and federal property,” despite federal guidance recommending agencies monitor access card activity as part of their risk assessment and oversight processes.
