Problem Statement

Not all information sharing and safeguarding governance bodies of the U. S. Government have the processes and structures necessary to ensure effective and coordinated decision making within department and agency bodies and across interagency bodies.

Desired Outcome

Promotion of baseline best practices and common minimum requirements for department and agency information sharing and safeguarding governance, transparent and harmonized decision making, and coordinated efforts internally and interdepartmentally among relevant information sharing and safeguarding governance bodies.

Approach

The Governance Tiger Team, convened by the ISA IPC, will develop a roadmap and near-term goals for intra- and inter-agency information sharing and safeguarding governance. The Tiger Team will identify best practices and common requirements, coordinate an assessment of interagency governance structure effectiveness, and promote accountability using the ISE Annual Planning Cycle.
