The Government Accountability Office reported failures by the General Services Administration, Environmental Protection Agency, and Department of Homeland Security in implementing IT cybersecurity recommendations. DHS has 43 unresolved recommendations, including seven priority items, while GSA has four and EPA has eleven outstanding issues.
