Machinery of Government changes (MoGs) are occurring with increasing frequency at the federal government level, averaging around 10 per year.
While some agencies are subject to MoGs more often than others, few are immune to having their functions or responsibilities subjected to mergers, demergers, or caught up in the creation of new agencies.
The common expectation is that the impacted agencies will spend a short time planning and preparing, and then ‘just a weekend’ transferring the relevant systems and data from the old agency to the new, with a bit more time afterwards to iron out any issues.
In fact, this ‘transition period’ is usually many months, sometimes years and when the transition is difficult or prolonged, the data security risks created by a MoG are sometimes overlooked at the SES level.
In an era of ever-increasing cyber-attacks, managing data security risk is an essential responsibility of any SES leadership team. In this Whitepaper, you will discover:
- What are the data security risks surrounding a MoG?
- How to protect data before, during, and after a MoG change.
- What Data Security solutions are there?
