AUTHORITY FOR MAINTENANCE OF THE SYSTEM

INCLUDES THE FOLLOWING WITH ANY REVISIONS

OR AMENDMENTS: 

5 U.S.C. 1103(c)(2)(A) and (B), 5

strengths and areas for improvement. 

CSOSA can use the results of the 

assessments to support its skills gap 

analyses, succession management, 

workforce planning, and training and 

development efforts.

POLICIES AND PRACTICES OF STORING, 

RETRIEVING, SAFEGUARDING, RETAINING AND

DISPOSING OF RECORDS IN THE SYSTEM: 

STORAGE: 

The records are maintained in an 

electronic relational database 

management system hosted on CSOSA’s 

electronic network servers and/or 

through Survey Monkey, a GSA 

approved vendor’s Internet server, 

accessed via a password-restricted 

system. Duplicate records also exist on 

magnetic backup tapes maintained by 

agency servers or on Survey Monkey. 

RETRIEVABILITY: 

Authorized CSOSA personnel can 

retrieve system records by using the 

employee’s name and employee 

identification number. Authorized 

personnel can aggregate the results of 

individual and supervisor assessments 

and create reports, without specifically 

identifying individuals. Authorized 

personnel can also retrieve system 

records that produce raw data reports 

that will contain the identity of 

individuals. An employee can retrieve 

their own information and individual 

reports (which contain a record of how 

the individuals assessed themselves, 

along with how the supervisor assessed 

the position) using their name and 

employee identification number. All 

system records are accessed through the 

agency’s computer network and/or a 

GSA approved Internet service provider 

through a password-restricted system. 

SAFEGUARDS: 

These records are maintained in 

controlled access areas. Identification 

cards are verified to ensure that only 

authorized personnel are present. 

Electronic records are protected by 

restricted access procedures, including 

the use of passwords and sign-on 

protocols which are periodically 

changed. Only employees whose official 

duties require access are allowed to 

view, administer, and control these 

records. The database will be 

maintained behind a firewall 

maintained by Survey Monkey, a GSA 

certified internet server provider, and 

the agency’s own firewall software 

programs. 

RETENTION AND DISPOSAL: 

System records are retained and 

disposed of according to CSOSA’s 

records maintenance and disposition 

schedules and the requirements of the 

National Archives and Records 

Administration. Any attempts to 

complete and completed competency 

assessments are archived to a 

computerized storage disk nightly and 

retained on the agency’s backup 

computer network server for five years. 

When records are purged from the 

agency’s computer server, the records 

are transferred to a Compact Disc (CD) 

or other electronic media. Records in 

electronic media are electronically 

erased. CD or other electronic media are 

maintained for five years.
