HSPD-12 Implementation Status Reports

HSPD-12 calls for a mandatory, government-wide standard for secure and reliable forms of identification issued by the federal government to its employees and to the employees of federal contractors. The implementation of this Standard will ensure the identification for government employees and contractors is reliable and secure. The Office of Management and Budget was directed to oversee agency implementation. Agencies must ensure consistency with existing privacy and security law and policies to ensure employee and contractor information is protected and appropriately used.
