The Comptroller General of the United States is the leader of the GAO, and is appointed to a 15-year term by the U.S. President. The GAO wants to support Congress, while at the same time doing right by the citizens of the United States. They audit, investigate, perform analyses, issue legal decisions and report anything that the government is doing. This is one of their reports.

One of the Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) priorities is the protection of Federal employees and private citizens who work within and visit U.S. Government-owned or leased facilities. The Interagency Security Committee (ISC), chaired by DHS, consists of 53 Federal departments and agencies, has as its mission the development of security standards and best practices for nonmilitary Federal facilities in the United States. As Chair of the ISC, I am pleased to introduce the new ISC document titled The Risk Management Process: An Interagency Security Committee Standard (Standard). This ISC Standard defines the criteria and processes that those responsible for the security of a facility should use to determine its facility security level and provides an integrated, single source of physical security countermeasures for all nonmilitary Federal facilities. The Standard also provides guidance for customization of the countermeasures for Federal facilities.

The Federal Government owns or leases 3.4 billion square feet of space in 491,465 buildings which may be vulnerable to acts of terrorism and other forms of violence. The Interagency Security Committee (ISC) was created by Executive Order 12977 in 1995, following the domestic terrorist bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City, OK, to address the quality and effectiveness of physical security requirements for federal facilities. The September 2001 terrorist attacks on the Pentagon and the World Trade Center renewed concerns about the vulnerability of federal buildings to bombing or other forms of attack. On February 28, 2003, the chairmanship of the ISC was transferred to the Secretary of Homeland Security from the Administrator of General Services by Executive Order 13286. In July 2004, based on Homeland Security Presidential Directive/HSPD-7, the ISC began reviewing federal agencies' physical security plans to better protect the nation's critical infrastructure and key resources. The ISC issued its updated Security Design Criteria on September 29, 2004, which set forth enhanced physical security requirements for the construction of new federal buildings as well as for major renovations of existing buildings. This report will be updated to reflect any policy changes in security standards for federal facilities.

The fed. government's reliance on leased space underscores the need to physically secure this space and help safeguard employees, visitors, and gov¿t. assets. In April 2010 the Interagency Security Comm., comprised of 47 fed. agencies and departments, issued Physical Security Criteria for Fed. Facilities (the 2010 standards) which supersede previous ISC standards. This report: (1) identifies challenges that exist in protecting leased space; and (2) examines how the 2010 standards address these challenges. To conduct this work, the auditor interviewed fed. officials, four fed. departments selected as case studies based on their large square footage of leased space, and the Fed. Protective Service. Illustrations. This is a print on demand report.
