security personnel who check each
individual entering the building for
their employee or visitor badge.
The computer system employed by
the Department offers a high degree of
resistance to tampering and
circumvention with firewalls,
encryption, and password protection.
This security system limits data access
to Department and Department
contractor staff on a ‘‘need-to-know’’
basis and controls individual users’
ability to access and alter records within
the system. All interactions by users of
the system are recorded. Users of the
EDMAPS system do not see personally
identifiable information (PII), even
when looking at individual records.
EDMAPS tokenizes PII, meaning that PII
are swapped out for non-sensitive
random values. This does not prevent
users of EDMAPS from joining tables
containing the same PII data element,
because tokenization ensures that the
same non-sensitive value is swapped
out in every table that has that
particular data element, for example
SSN or date of birth.
In accordance with the Federal
Information Security Management Act
of 2002 (FISMA), as amended by the
Federal Information Security
Modernization Act of 2014, every
Department system must receive a
signed Authorization to Operate (ATO)
from a designated Department official.
The ATO process includes a rigorous
assessment of security and privacy
controls, a plan of actions and
milestones to remediate any identified
deficiencies, and a continuous
monitoring program.
FISMA controls implemented are
comprised of a combination of
management, operational, and technical
controls, and include the following
control families: access control,
awareness and training, audit and
accountability, security assessment and
authorization, configuration
management, contingency planning,
identification and authentication,
incident response, maintenance, media
protection, physical and environmental
protection, planning, personnel
security, privacy, risk assessment,
system and services acquisition, system
and communications protection, system
and information integrity, and program
management.
