- Information Security: Although Progress Reported, Federal Agencies Need to Resolve Significant Deficiencies - GAO-08-496T
- Government Accountability Office, February 14, 2008. "Information security is especially important for federal agencies, where the public's trust is essential and poor information security can have devastating consequences.

In preparing for this testimony, GAO reviewed prior audit reports; examined federal policies, guidance, and budgetary documentation; and analyzed agency and inspector general (IG) reports on information security..."
