Integrity, as used in the OMB quality guidelines, refers to the security of information from unauthorized access or revision to ensure that the information is not compromised through corruption or falsification. RRB administers social insurance programs for railroad workers and their families. The agency is highly protective of the confidentiality of information it holds through its policies and practices.
To ensure the integrity of its administrative information, RRB will employ rigorous controls that have been identified as representing sound security practices. RRB has in place programs and policies for securing its resources as required by the Government Information Security Reform Act (P.L. 106-398, title X, subtitle G). Those security procedures address all major components of information security and apply to all RRB operating components. In addition, RRB is subject to statutory requirements to protect the sensitive information it gathers and maintains on individuals. Those requirements are contained in the following documents:
- Privacy Act of 1974
- Computer Security Act of 1987
- Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circulars A-123, A-127, and A-130
- Government Information Security Reform Act
- Federal Managers' Financial Integrity Act (FMFIA) of 1982
- Section 6103 of the Internal Revenue Code
- IRS Tax Information Security Guidelines for Federal, State, and Local Agencies
