2007 Federal Computer Security Report Card

Created by Rodney J. Petersen (EDUCAUSE) on June 21, 2007

The 7th Annual Computer Security Report Card at Federal Departments and Agencies gave the government an overall grade of C- which is up from a D+ the previous two years. Other notable changes include:

  • NSF received an A+ in 2006, rebounding sharply from a C+ it received in 2004
  • NASA received a D- in 2006 - the same grade it received in 2003 and 2004 - although its grade temporarily jumped to a B- in 2005
  • The Department of Defense and Department of Education both received an F in 2006
  • The Department of Veterans Affairs, infamous for its lost laptop that exposed the records of 26.5 million veterans in 2006, failed to submit a FY06 FISMA Report. The VA had received an F in the previous two years.
