Privacy Act of 1974; System of Records

ODNI provides notice of a modified Privacy Act system of records at the NCSC. This notice modifies the system of records ODNI/ NCSC-003, Continuous Evaluation Records. This modified notice is necessary to inform the public of revisions to the notice summary; supplementary information; system management; authority for maintenance of the system; purpose of the system; categories of individuals covered by the system; categories of records in the system; record source categories; routine uses of records maintained in the system; policies and practices for storage of records; policies and practices for retrieval of records; and policies and practices for retention and disposal of records. This modified notice for ODNI/NCSC-003, Continuous Evaluation Records, incorporates requirements established by Executive Order (E.O.) 13467, as amended. These updates to this notice complement efforts of Continuous Vetting (CV), a program under the E.O. which entails reviewing the background of a covered individual at any time to determine whether that individual continues to meet applicable requirements. Continuous Evaluation (CE) was developed to reduce risk by using automated records checks to generate alerts of potential security concerns on an individual between periodic reinvestigations. CV is a more robust approach that builds upon the automated records checks of CE and adds other agency-specific information and investigative activity as necessary.
