The U.S. Office of the Inspector General (OIG) recently completed an audit of the FBI’s inventory management processes. During that review, inspectors identified several severe weaknesses in inventory management and disposal procedures for storage media containing sensitive and classified information.
The OIG, a separate part of the Department of Justice from the FBI, published a report outlining the audit findings. That report outlines multiple problems with how the FBI addresses tracking its inventory of storage devices and its security when destroying those devices.
