Today, Rep. Gerald E. Connolly, Chairman of the Subcommittee on Government Operations, held a biannual hearing to assess implementation of the Federal Information Technology Acquisition Reform Act (FITARA), Modernizing Government Technology (MGT) Act, and the Federal Information Security Modernization Act of 2014 (FISMA), and consider opportunities for modernizing future iterations of the FITARA Scorecard.

"Key pillars of the FITARA Scorecard--including cybersecurity and IT modernization--remain on GAO's high-risk list, highlighting the need for continued oversight of these issues," said Chairman Connolly in his opening statement. "To conduct such oversight effectively, the FITARA Scorecard must accurately reflect the progress agencies have made in their IT efforts, which will in turn motivate agencies to prioritize meaningful changes to their IT infrastructures."
