Report Card on Government's Compliance With Secure ID Mandate

The president called on all federal agencies to issue secure, smart ID cards to federal workers and contractors. So far, few of the cards have been issued, according to an analysis of published data.

 

June 13, 2007CSO — Starting March 1, 2007, the White House Office of Management and Budget required that federal agencies post quarterly updates on their public websites reporting how far along they are in issuing the Personal Identity Verification (PIV) cards that allow them to comply with Homeland Security Presidential Directive 12, known as HSPD-12. (The PDF for this order is located here.) These smart cards are intended to provide employees and contractors both logical and physical access to government facilities.

There is no central clearinghouse for this information spread across the federal government. Below is our best attempt to locate the websites for those agencies and departments that have posted their latest updates. Those numbers indicate that while the number of PIV cards issued has more than doubled in the past three months, the government as a whole has issued only a small fraction of the cards required under the presidential mandate.

The table includes both March and June 2007 status reports and adds up the numbers.

* Both the Department of Interior and the General Services Administration are acting as shared service providers and issuing cards for other agencies. The numbers listed above do not include cards those agencies have issued to other agencies. In all, as of March 1, 2007, the Department of Interior National Business Center reported that it had issued 46 of the 73,761 cards it is required to issue; since then the report has been taken down from its website and not been replaced with a newer one.
** The required June 1, 2007, status report was not posted as of June 5, 2007.
