Highlights

Although the Social Security Administration recently spent about $500,000 to install a new security system for its computer operation, the central computer facility is still not secure. Unauthorized personnel have access to the computer room and tape vault. Magnetic tapes, disc packs, and other property can be removed without proper authorization.
