DHS Has Made Limited Progress Implementing the Continuous Diagnostics and Mitigation Program

The Department of Homeland Security has not yet strengthened its cybersecurity posture by implementing a Continuous Diagnostics and Mitigation (CDM) program. DHS spent more than $180 million between 2013 and 2020 to design and build a department-wide continuous monitoring solution but faced setbacks. DHS initially planned to deploy its internal CDM solution in three phases by 2017 using a “One DHS” approach that restricted components to a standard set of common tools. After this attempt was unsuccessful, DHS adopted a new acquisition strategy in 2019, shifting to a capability driven implementation approach, pushing the deadline to 2022, and allowing components to utilize existing tools to collect CDM data.
