FDIC Needs Better IT Coordination: Watchdog

The FDIC has not developed sufficient strategies for several information technology transitions, the agency’s inspector general said. The Office of the Inspector General said the FDIC failed to adequately address IT security concerns, adequately communicate with agency stakeholders on transitioning to the cloud, or implement an enterprise architecture to guide its IT initiatives. It recommended better coordination and including the agency’s IT plans in its governance processes and framework.
