ECOMMENDATIONS
• OIT awarded the SEC.gov Modernization contract in the first quarter of FY13. The
initial release of the new SEC.gov content management system is scheduled to “go-live”
in the production environment late in the third quarter of FY13. This initial release will
include an improved SEC.gov website search solution that utilizes GSA’s USA Search
feature and an improved user experience with the existing EDGAR Search function.
• OIT is enhancing data management, cloud computing, and complex, predictive analytical
capabilities to be used by the Divisions and Offices. Through the EDW contract, OIT is
establishing a robust data management program to assist Divisions and Offices with data
initiatives. OIT is also utilizing the cloud to store additional SEC.gov content, improve
response times, and improve its ability to scale up to meet peak demand. The utilization
of the cloud to store content has allowed the SEC to handle dramatic increases in monthly
SEC.gov traffic. For example, SEC.gov traffic in February 2012 was 30 million, in
February 2013, the number was 78 million. In addition, OIT implemented the Market
Information and Data Analytics system (MIDAS), which has been used by multiple
Divisions and Offices since January of 2013. MIDAS collects trade data to analyze
market crashes, monitors market activities, provides input to the SEC to determine if
further investigations are warranted, and will be used to inform rulemaking and policies.
• OIT is standardizing its IT controls by implementing the security controls outlined in
National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Special Publication (SP) 800-53,
Revision 3, Recommended Security Controls for Federal Information Systems and
Organizations.
• OIT continues to make positive progress in closing Office of Inspector General (OIG)
and GAO audit findings. During the FY12 financial statement audit, the GAO closed 22
of the findings it issued in prior years. OIT continues to remediate deficiencies identified
by OIG engagements, closing 29 items during FY12. Assuming adequate funding,
remaining remediation efforts will be ongoing.
• OIT continues to build on the $12M in “Spend to Save” initiatives reported in FY12.
These initiatives include: investing in capacity planning tools that will identify the
computing capacity of the enterprise environment, perform data collection to construct
