Book excerpt: The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has spent and continues to invest hundreds of millions of dollars each year in its U.S. Visitor and Immigrant Status Indicator Technology (US-VISIT) program to collect, maintain, and share information on selected foreign nationals who enter and exit the United States at over 300 air, sea, and land ports of entry (POEs). The program uses biometric identifiers (digital finger scans and photographs) to screen people against watch lists and to verify that a visitor is the person who was issued a visa or other travel document. GAO's testimony addresses the status of US-VISIT entry and exit capabilities and DHS's management of past and future efforts. In developing its testimony, GAO drew from eight prior reports on US-VISIT as well as ongoing work for the committee.

This book was released on 2008-07 with total page 18 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Visa Waiver Program, which enables citizens of participating countries to travel to the U.S. without first obtaining a visa, may present security, law enforce., and illegal immigration risks. In 2007, Congress passed legislation that allows the Dept. of Homeland Security (DHS) to expand the program to additional countries whose nationals¿ applications for short-term bus. and tourism visas were refused previously. Countries must also meet certain conditions, and DHS must first complete and certify a number of required actions aimed at enhancing the security of the program. This testimony focuses on one of these required actions -- namely, that a system be in place that can verify the departure of 97% of foreign nationals who depart through U.S. airports. Ill.

Download or read book Developing a Biometric Exit System to Address Visitor Overstays written by Marie Sherman and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 75 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Each year, millions of visitors come to the United States legally on a temporary basis. Overstays are individuals who were admitted legally on a temporary basis but then overstayed their authorized periods of admission. The Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004 required the Secretary of Homeland Security to develop a plan to accelerate implementation of a biometric entry and exit data system that matches information provided by foreign nationals upon their arrival and departure. Since 2004, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has tracked foreign nationals' entries into the United States, and since December 2006, a biometric entry capability has been fully operational at all ports of entry. However, the United States Government Accountability Office (GAO) has identified a range of challenges that DHS has faced in its efforts to deploy a corresponding biometric exit capability. DHS's U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is primarily responsible for implementing a biometric exit program. This book addresses DHS's efforts to review its records to identify potential overstays; the extent to which DHS's changes in its systems or processes have improved data on potential overstays and DHS's ability to report overstay rates; and the extent to which DHS has made progress toward establishing a biometric exit system.

Download or read book Privacy Impact Assessment written by David Wright and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-01-31 with total page 541 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Virtually all organisations collect, use, process and share personal data from their employees, customers and/or citizens. In doing so, they may be exposing themselves to risks, from threats and vulnerabilities, of that data being breached or compromised by negligent or wayward employees, hackers, the police, intelligence agencies or third-party service providers. A recent study by the Ponemon Institute found that 70 per cent of organisations surveyed had suffered a data breach in the previous year. Privacy impact assessment is a tool, a process, a methodology to identify, assess, mitigate or avoid privacy risks and, in collaboration with stakeholders, to identify solutions. Contributors to this book – privacy commissioners, academics, consultants, practitioners, industry representatives – are among the world’s leading PIA experts. They share their experience and offer their insights to the reader in the policy and practice of PIA in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, the United States and elsewhere. This book, the first such on privacy impact assessment, will be of interest to any organisation that collects or uses personal data and, in particular, to regulators, policy-makers, privacy professionals, including privacy, security and information officials, consultants, system architects, engineers and integrators, compliance lawyers and marketing professionals. In his Foreword, surveillance studies guru Gary Marx says, “This state-of-the-art book describes the most comprehensive tool yet available for policy-makers to evaluate new personal data information technologies before they are introduced.” This book could save your organisation many thousands or even millions of euros (or dollars) and the damage to your organisation’s reputation and to the trust of employees, customers or citizens if it suffers a data breach that could have been avoided if only it had performed a privacy impact assessment before deploying a new technology, product, service or other initiative involving personal data.

Ford and published by DIANE Publishing. This book was released on 2009-03 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Visa Waiver Program, which enables citizens of participating countries to travel to the U.S. without first obtaining a visa, has many benefits, but also has risks. In 2006, it was found that the Dept. of Homeland Security (DHS) needed to improve efforts to assess and mitigate these risks. In Aug. 2007, Congress passed the 9/11 Act, which provides DHS the authority to consider expanding the program to countries whose short-term business and tourism visa refusal rates were between 3% and 10% in the prior fiscal year. This testimony discusses a recent report on the Visa Waiver Program. Specifically, it examines DHS¿s process for expanding the Visa Waiver Program and evaluates the extent to which DHS is assessing and mitigating program risks. Illus.
