Excerpt
Excerpt: The computer systems that support the Department of Energy?s (DOE) civilian research and development programs house enormous amounts of data and information. Although unclassified, some of the information in these systems is nevertheless sensitive and must be protected from inappropriate access or disclosure. For example, these systems might house controlled scientific and technical information such as proprietary data or information that is export controlled. For this reason, DOE property management regulations require the agency to clear the hard drives of all computers before they are transferred into the excess category for reuse or disposal. On February 16, 2001, we briefed your office on our review of the safeguarding of data in excessed DOE computers.
