Bill > S1943

This bill requires the Comptroller General (the head of the Government Accountability Office) to conduct a comprehensive audit of the Social Security Administration's computer systems and networks, focusing specifically on systems accessed by the U.S. DOGE Service and its associated teams or individuals. The audit will investigate potential security vulnerabilities, software bugs, and potential violations of federal privacy laws, including the Privacy Act of 1974, the Federal Information Security Management Act, and other relevant statutes. Within 60 days of the bill's enactment, the audit will begin, and within one year, the Comptroller General must submit a detailed report to the Senate Finance Committee, the House Ways and Means Committee, and the Social Security Administration Commissioner. Following the report, the Commissioner will have 90 days to address any identified vulnerabilities or bugs and provide a status report to the same congressional committees. The bill aims to enhance the security and privacy protections of the Social Security Administration's computer systems, with a particular focus on preventing potential data breaches or misuse of sensitive information.
