We announced Project No. D2024-D000CU-0111.000 on April 8, 2024 (attached). The objective was to determine whether the Army National Guard was effectively protecting classified information in accordance with Federal and DoD guidance. Based on the information we have collected to date, the requirements, controls, processes, and procedures for protecting information on each classified network differed. Because of this, we have chosen to terminate this broader audit and focus this project on just one classified network.
The revised objective for Project No. D2025-D000CT-0075.000 is to assess the effectiveness of the DoD’s controls to protect classified information in the Army National Guard’s Secret Internet Protocol Router Network against unauthorized access or disclosure. We may revise the objective as the audit proceeds, and we will also consider suggestions from management for additional or revised objectives. We plan to perform this audit in accordance with the Government Accountability Office’s generally accepted government auditing standards. We will consider a future audit on other Army National Guard classified networks.
