The Department of Energy expects to spend about $300 million in Fiscal Year (FY) 2007 to protect its investment in information technology resources. These protective act~vities are critical to ensuring that systenis and data remain secure and available, especially in light of the increasingly sophisticated probes and attacks on Departmental infonnation technology resources. Experts note that successful attacks on Federal systems have emboldened hackers and that attempts to penetrate agency systems will continue to grow. As such, Department management has recognized the need for and has budgeted for a strong and effective cyber security program. Such a program is essential to minimizing adverse impacts on the Department's operations and preventing the unauthorized exfiltration of sensitive, privacy, or ~nission-relatedd ata.

The Hanford Environmental Information System (HEIS) database is the official repository of data from soil, biota, atmospheric, miscellaneous material, surface water and groundwater samples at the Hanford Site. The HEIS is required by the Tri-Party Agreement, which is a legally binding agreement among the Department of Energy (Department), Washington State Department of Ecology and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The majority of the data in HEIS is associated with samples collected in support of the cleanup requirements, groundwater monitoring, environmental impact statements, waste site remediation and characterization, and biological/ecologica1 monitoring. In particular, data contained in HEIS is obtained from samples taken to characterize the level of contamination at a site before and during cleanup, as well as san~plesta ken to monitor the site at the completion of cleanup. As the official repository for environmental samples at the Hanford Site, it is important that HEIS contain complete data, especially regarding the number and locations sample results in terms of detected contamination levels. Sample data contained in HEIS is used to assist in making cleanup decisions. Given its importance to Hanford's cleanup effort, the objective of this audit was to determine whether HEIS contains complete environmental sampling data.
