Lincoln Land Community College (LLCC) acknowledges and takes seriously the audit findings presented, highlighting areas where compliance requirements were not met. These findings are crucial in ensuring the ongoing enhancement of our Information Security Program. To address these concerns LLCC has proactively taken several measures. In June 2022, the College appointed an IT Security and Assurance Manager, tasked with overseeing the Information Security Program and ensuring compliance with the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA). The Manager has played a pivotal role in developing a comprehensive roadmap to guide the continued evolution of our Information Security Program. This roadmap specifically outlines the steps required to address the identified deficiencies, as detailed in the schedule of findings document received from the CLA. LLCC affirms its agreement with the details provided in the document and has prioritized these findings as top-level concerns in the roadmap. In the upcoming Fiscal Year 2024 (FY24), LLCC commits to diligently implementing the roadmap, with a focused emphasis on the following key areas: 1. Implementation and Periodic Review of Access Controls: The IT Security and Assurance Manager will lead efforts to establish robust access controls and ensure regular reviews to align with compliance requirements. 2. Encryption of Customer Information: Although informal procedures are in place, a comprehensive strategy for encrypting customer information both within the College’s system and during transit will be implemented to safeguard sensitive data. 3. Security Assessment of Applications: Rigorous evaluations, assessments, and testing procedures for applications transmitting sensitive information will be instituted to bolster the overall security posture. 4. Anticipation and Evaluation of System Changes: Proactive measures will be taken to anticipate and evaluate changes to the information system or network, ensuring a proactive stance against potential vulnerabilities, including the development of a formalized change management process. 5. Regular Testing and Monitoring: LLCC is committed to instituting regular testing, monitoring, and assessing protocols for established safeguards to ensure their ongoing effectiveness. 6. Implementation of Policies and Procedures: Policies and procedures will be refined and enforced to guarantee that personnel can effectively enact the information security program. 7. Monitoring Information System Service Providers: Development of a comprehensive approach to monitoring the College’s information system service providers has been initiated and will be established to ensure compliance with security standards. Lincoln Land Community College views this as an opportunity for continuous improvement and remains dedicated to upholding the highest standards of information security. The commitment to addressing these findings is integral to our ongoing efforts to safeguard sensitive information and maintain compliance with regulatory requirements.

Views of Responsible Officials: As part of our investigation, we determined staff involved in the embezzlement colluded to circumvent Alight’s systems of internal controls at the directions of an Alight manager. In addition to taking the immediate actions listed above, including terminating the employment of staff involved, we also took the following actions:  We filed a police report, and are pursuing legal actions against the key actors involved in the malfeasance.  Alight’s executive leaders conducted policy, procedures and fraud notification training with the Thai staff including how to report suspected incidence of fraud.  Executive leaders and Thai leaders traveled to field offices to review operations and provide staff the opportunity to report issues. We believe these actions reinforce management’s zero tolerance to fraud and offer staff the knowledge and opportunity to report potential issues going forward.

I am acknowledging the finding of the Federal Audit team in which an error in my spreadsheet was documented resulting in requesting a recurring expenditure on two different pay requests. The correction was made the day of the audit through coding other expenditures matching the qualifying expenditures. In the future, the district spreadsheets will include review by the bookkeeper and superintendent to ensure the fund pay requests are correct and not repeated. By multiple review and the addition of PO number and date of pay request this will easily define a possible "doubling up" of items for a pay request. This was one finding and all other accounts reviewed were correct and accurate. Additional expenditures were corrected and easily matched the grant funds obtained through reimbursement. The new procedure will begin immediately. Tara Lewis Superintendent

Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA) Compliance Planned Corrective Action: Wayland Baptist University will implement multi-factor authentication (MFA) in alignment with Center for Internet Security (CIS) Control 6 for all externally exposed applications. We will mitigate risk for internal-only applications by enabling MFA where available and authorizing access to vulnerable applications only from our Single Sign On (SSO) and MFA portals when available. We will evaluate and implement a third-party solution to assist in automated vulnerability scanning of internal and externally exposed assets in alignment with CIS Control Safeguards 7.5 and 7.6. We will evaluate and implement a third-party solution to align with CIS Control 18 to conduct penetration testing annually. Establishing a vendor management policy and review standard will be completed with an emphasis on following CIS Control 15, focusing on maintaining an inventory of service providers, including classification of the service providers, and ensuring that service-provider contracts include security requirements. The Chief Information Officer will write and provide annually a report to the Board of Trustees detailing Wayland Baptist University's information security program.

This third-party vendor provides the following services: • Firewall to protect network perimeter. • Security updates and critical patches. • Alerts to inform about issues on all endpoints. • Defense agents that scan and monitor external devices. • Agents to actively monitor web traffic and block malicious links. • Tools used for internal and external vulnerability scans. • Alerts to monitor for any malicious activity or events of potential compromise. • Other advanced threat protection. The University's Compliance Committee will assess the effectiveness of the existing continuous monitoring procedures and ascertain whether further vulnerability assessments and penetration testing are necessary to meet the stipulated criteria within Title 16, Chapter I, Subchapter C, Part 314 of the Federal Trade Commission regulations. The Compliance Committee will collaborate with additional IT Security Professionals as deemed necessary and ensure that the University is in compliance with the regulations.
