    We believe these open recommendations, if implemented, will have the greatest impact on helping HUD achieve its mission to create strong, sustainable, inclusive communities and quality affordable homes for all.

    Implement multifactor authentication mechanisms for all nonprivileged users who access information systems that process, store, or transmit PII.


    Status

    The Office of the Chief Information Officer reported that it has implemented a new software security solution to implement multifactor authentication, starting with a pilot on 15 FHA systems. In October 2024, HUD received additional funds through the Technology Modernization Fund for this project enterprisewide.


    Analysis

    To fully address the recommendation, HUD must implement multifactor authentication enterprisewide.

    Implementation of this recommendation will result in an enterprise-wide identity and access management solution. Users will be required to use multifactor authentication methods to access HUD data, networks, and devices.
