- Summary:
- U.S. government personnel vetting processes, such as background investigations, rely on information technology systems to process and validate data on millions of federal employees and contractor personnel. In 2016, DOD assumed responsibility for developing new systems following a 2015 cybersecurity incident that compromised data from Office of Personnel Management systems. DOD is developing the NBIS system to replace those legacy systems. . GAO assessed (1) the status of NBIS system development, and the reliability of the schedule and cost estimate for the NBIS program; and (2) the extent to which DCSA is engaging stakeholders in the development of NBIS system requirements and capabilities. Congress should consider requiring DOD to develop a reliable NBIS program schedule and cost estimate based on GAO best practices. GAO also recommends that DOD assess and use GAO's survey results to improve engagement with stakeholders.
