[top] All HUD employees have undergone background investigations. HUD buildings are guarded and monitored by security personnel, cameras, ID checks, page 50642 and other physical security measures. Access is restricted to authorized personnel or contractors whose responsibilities require access. System users must take the mandatory security awareness training annually as mandated by the Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA). Users must also sign a Rules of Behavior form certifying that they agree to comply with the requirements before they are granted access to the system.

FDM resides on the HUD OCIO Local Area Network (LAN). The HUD OCIO Infrastructure and Operations Office (IOO) secures the Stennis and Clarksville Data Centers where the LAN resides, and for backing up and encrypting FDM data. FDM sends and receives data through HUD SFTP (Security File Transfer Protocol), which encrypts the data. SSNs are encrypted in the database.

Supervisors determine and authorize FDM access for their employees, and OCFO checks their suitability by ensuring the user's investigation record is appropriate. The majority of FDM users are read-only and cannot enter data into FDM. An annual system user recertification is conducted to ensure each FDM user requires access to the system.
