Section 1 – Purpose

1A – Description of Bureau Vision and Priorities 

The President’s 2008 Budget request for the DSCIP account is $18,710,000 in direct 

appropriations. This account is authorized to be used by or on behalf of Treasury 

Department bureaus, at the Secretary’s discretion, to modernize business processes and 

increase efficiency through technology investments. Continuing investments include 

ECM, TSDN, Disaster Recovery (DR) capacity, Cyber Security, and E-Government 

initiatives. First time funding was requested in 2007 to plan for the development of an 

Enterprise Content Management system, while funding is requested in 2008 for the 

development of a pilot ECM system. 

1B – Program History and Future Outlook 

The Treasury Department has made significant progress in key initiatives for the DSCIP 

program. Highlights of these accomplishments include: 

Treasury Foreign Intelligence Network (TFIN): The TFIN was stabilized in FY 2006 

and the development of the enhanced analytical capability has begun. A major milestone 

was reached on Dec 22, 2006 with the Initial Operating Capability of the Analytic 

Support System Environment for Treasury (ASSET) analytical toolset. In addition, 

significant upgrades to infrastructure and communications in preparation for additional 

development work are on schedule and on budget. 

Critical Infrastructure Protection (CIP): Homeland Security Presidential Directive 7 

(HSPD-7) requires that federal agencies identify, prioritize, and determine the 

interdependencies of critical assets in order to provide an appropriate level of cyber and 

physical asset protection. The Department of the Treasury completed the Project Matrix 

Refresh effort, an assessment and evaluation of the Treasury Department’s critical cyber 

and physical assets and key resources. 

E-Government Initiatives: The Department of the Treasury funds 12 of the 25 EGovernment initiatives and six of the nine E-Government Lines of Business. The 

Treasury Department worked diligently with the Managing Partners of the Presidential EGovernment initiatives and completed all required Memoranda of Understanding with 

other federal agencies by March 30, 2006. By facilitating discussions between 

Departmental E-Government representatives and the federal Managing Partners, 

Treasury-wide coordination has improved and transition activities have begun to identify 

and eliminate duplicative systems. The Treasury Department has also taken a significant 

leadership role within the Budget Formulation and Execution Line of Business by making 

the Budget Formulation and Execution Manager toolset available on a multi-agency 

basis.

determine the interdependencies of critical assets in order to provide an appropriate level 

of protection. Project Matrix Refresh is an assessment and evaluation of the Treasury 

Department's critical cyber and physical assets and key resources. This initiative, which 

is also one of the Department of the Treasury’s milestones under the President’s 

Management Agenda, will assist in the Treasury Department’s emergency preparedness

efforts and disaster recovery planning. Since the project has been fully developed and is 

in steady state, this request represents the transfer of CIP from DSCIP to Economic 

Policy. 

DSCIP - 3 
TFIN - Operations and Maintenance -$3,000,000 / +0 FTE Treasury Foreign Intelligence 

Network (TFIN) system supports the Department of the Treasury’s capabilities in 

providing and analyzing meaningful intelligence to senior Treasury Department staff, as 

well as to other agencies within the intelligence community. TFIN is the sole source of 

Top Secret intelligence for the Treasury Department, and the data from the system is 

utilized by the Secretary of the Treasury, the Deputy Secretary of the Treasury, and the 

Office of Terrorism and Financial Intelligence (TFI). 

Program Increases .......................................................................+$18,710,000 / +0 FTE 

Enterprise Content Management +$6,000,000 / +0 FTE This funding will enable the 

Department of the Treasury to implement a pilot enterprise-wide Enterprise Content 

Management (ECM) solution for the Department, initially meeting the business 

requirements of the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) and the Financial Crimes 

Enforcement Network (FinCEN). The Department of Treasury processes a massive 

volume of files and data, much of which is subject to statutory/regulatory handling 

requirements, and subsequently has an urgent need for an enterprise-wide approach to an 

ECM system to minimize duplication of effort and infrastructure investments to address 

workflow, document and case management, and reporting issues. The enterprise-wide 

approach, under the oversight of the Treasury Department's Chief Information Officer, 

will ensure that all Department-wide ECM efforts map to consistent standards, are 

aligned with related government-wide initiatives, such as the Case Management Line of 

Business, and leverage commonalities in requirements among Treasury Department 

components, thereby achieving economies of scale and efficiencies in information 

sharing. 

Treasury Secure Data Network +$2,000,000 / +0 FTE The Treasury Secure Data 

Network (TSDN) is the computer and network infrastructure that enables the 

communication and distribution of classified (Secret level) information to over 400 

Departmental offices and bureau users. TSDN also provides Treasury Department users 

with access to the Secret Internet Protocol Router Network (SIPRNET) and the 

Department of Defense classified communications network. This access is vital to 

ensuring that International Affairs, Senior Policy Officials such as Executive Secretary,

the Secretary and the Deputy Secretary, Terrorism and Financial Intelligence (TFI) and 

its components (Office of Foreign Assets Control and Office of Intelligence and 

Analysis), as well as the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, can communicate 

effectively with colleagues in the law enforcement, Defense, and State Department 

communities. Treasury’s expanding role in financial intelligence has significantly 

increased the demand for TSDN seats and services; however, TSDN remains an out-ofdate and unstable system. This funding will allow for the stabilization and enhancement 

of the system to meet the growing user demand. 

Treasury Back-up Disaster Recovery +$4,000,000 / +0 FTE The disaster recovery site 

for Departmental Offices (DO) does not provide the capability to run many missioncritical applications. Continuity of Operations Plan (COOP) exercises have demonstrated 

that the current capability of the disaster recovery site does not meet the disaster scenario 

requirements of offices such as the Office of the Secretary, Office of Terrorism and 

DSCIP - 4 
Financial Intelligence (TFI), and the Office of Domestic Finance. Funding is required to 

provide server infrastructure and storage area network (SAN) upgrades and services to 

facilitate disaster recovery business solutions for DO. These upgrades will enable DO to 

meet critical requirements in the event of a disaster. 

Cyber Security - CIP +$400,000 / +0 FTE In accordance with HSPD-7, this initiative

supports the direct protection of designated Treasury Critical Infrastructure/ Key 

Resources (CI/KR) against terrorist activity. The official Treasury list of designated 

CI/KR was signed by the Assistant Secretary for Management in January 2006. 

Increased risks to these systems and networks are attributable to the enormous growth in 

interoperability and connectivity, and have been designated by the Office of Management 

and Budget (OMB) to be protected in accordance with National Institute of Standards and 

Technology (NIST) guidance (FIPS-199 High). These assets require the highest level of 

protection in order to provide for meeting the most critical functions of the U.S. Treasury 

Department and in providing the highest level of confidence to the general public and 

Congress for the U.S. Government’s commitment to the banking and finance sector. This 

initiative is essential if the Treasury Department and its bureaus are to respond effectively 

to the potentially debilitating impact of an attack on its critical infrastructures from both 

cyber and physical threats. The Department of the Treasury’s technology portfolio of 

approximately $3 billion in Information Technology investments must be adequately 

protected and risks must be managed. 

Cyber Security - Information Security +$1,844,000 / +0 FTE The Cyber Security 

Program performs a critical function in protecting the integrity and adequacy of the 

defense of Treasury Department systems and information. FY 2008 funding is requested 

to improve the Department of the Treasury’s information security programs, thereby 

improving the security of Treasury systems as well as increase compliance with the 

FISMA and related federal information security policies and guidance. These efforts will 

also address the information security challenge identified by the Inspector General (IG). 

In last year’s FISMA report, the IG stated, “[t]he Department faces serious challenges in 

bringing its systems into compliance with information technology security policies, 

procedures, standards and guidelines.” The IG continued, “the Department has 

significant deficiencies in information security that constitutes substantial noncompliance with the FISMA requirements.” The initiatives that will be supported for this 

proposal include identifying, tracking, and addressing cyber security weaknesses; 

operating the Treasury Computer Security Incident Response Capability to meet 

Department of Homeland Security, OMB, and FISMA requirements; tracking and 

validating program and system level cyber security plans of action and milestones; 

developing enhanced security policy for Departmental systems; and conducting the 

Treasury Department’s annual FISMA review. 

E-Government Enterprise Architecture +$300,000 / +0 FTE This funding is for the 

continued development of the Treasury Enterprise Repository (ER), a critical component 

of Enterprise Architecture (EA) information used for modeling the influx of new Capital 

Information Technology (IT) investments and the retirement of legacy IT investments. 

The EA repository will provide Treasury Department users the capability to store, 

DSCIP - 5 
retrieve, and display relevant business and information technology (IT) related data in a 

myriad of views to address IT Technology investment needs of the Treasury Department 

and its supporting bureaus. These views allow users to dynamically assess the planned 

introduction of new IT investments, and to ascertain how to restructure business 

processes and systems to increase organizational efficiency and effectiveness. The ER 

allows Treasury-wide EA information for each of the sub-architecture levels to be

captured and analyzed centrally. Each Treasury Department bureau is configured to 

interface with the EA tool, which allows immediate access to current information across 

the Department of the Treasury. 

E-Government Initiatives +$2,166,000 / +0 FTE This funding provides for the 

development and implementation of needs assessments, functional requirements, and 

implementation of applicable E-Government initiatives. The Office of the Chief

Information Officer (OCIO) provides program management oversight and departmental 

coordination for each of the initiatives assuring compliance by all bureaus. If not funded, 

the Treasury Department will be at risk of not meeting the goals of the E-Government 

component of the PMA. This funding will enable the Treasury Department to continue to 

meet the implementation milestones in the OMB-approved E-Government 

Implementation Plan, positively impacting the Department of the Treasury’s ability to

achieve a “Green” rating for the expanding E-Government initiatives of the PMA. 

Integrated Wireless Network +$2,000,000 / +0 FTE This investment will enable the

Treasury Department to participate in the Integrated Wireless Network (IWN) as well as 

continue to upgrade existing land-mobile-radio equipment. The new equipment acquired 

would be based on the Project-25 suite of standards for public safety communications, 

which supports law enforcement, first responders, and homeland security requirements 

with integrated communication services (voice, data, and multimedia) in a wireless 

environment. The Department of the Treasury relies on these systems to accomplish its 

mission, which includes agent safety, investigations, surveillance, and facility protection 

and security. Funding will make it possible for the Treasury Department to meet the 

National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) narrow banding 

mandate, NIST security standards for Advanced Encryption Standards, and the 

Association of Public Safety Communications Officials Project 25 standards for public 

safety digital radio.

3A – Department-wide Systems and Capital Investments Program ($18,710,000 

from direct appropriations): DSCIP is authorized to be used by or on behalf of Treasury 

Department bureaus, at the Secretary’s discretion, to modernize business processes and 

increase efficiency through technology investments. Highlights of some of the 

efficiencies and benefits from these investments include: 

Enterprise Content Management: Developing a Department-wide ECM system is a 

critical component to improving the work processes and productivity of the Department. 

The initiative will establish a pilot ECM project that aligns with Government-wide 

initiatives, promotes common standards across the Treasury Department, and positions 

the Department of the Treasury for an enterprise-wide system. 

Cyber Security Assurance: Ensuring the Department of the Treasury is able to protect 

its critical infrastructure/key resources from attack, to address cyber security weaknesses, 

and to provide a Department-wide capability for real time assessment of security posture 

and alerts to threats that will promote mission assurance. 

Disaster Recovery Capabilities: This upgrade is critical to ensure the stability of 

essential operations of the Department of the Treasury in the event of an emergency. The 

upgrade will enable the ability of the Treasury Department’s information technology 

infrastructure to recover in the event of a disaster or major service failure. 

Implementation of E-Government Initiatives: The President’s Management Agenda 

(PMA) and E-Government initiatives drive the Treasury Department to identify 

opportunities to leverage existing systems and services in order to reduce costs and 

duplication within the Department of the Treasury and across government. The Treasury 

Department continues to review and monitor projects targeted for migration and eventual 

shut-down.

The purpose of DSCIP funds is to modernize business processes and increase efficiencies 

through IT investment. All of the DSCIP efforts provide tangible benefits in their 

specific areas to produce an improved overall IT environment for the Department of the 

Treasury. The following section describes what the Treasury Department expects to 

accomplish with the requested DSCIP funding and the specific benefits each program

will provide at the completion of FY 2008. 

Enterprise Content Management Funding for the Enterprise Content Management 

(ECM) program will be used to implement a pilot enterprise-wide ECM project for the 

Department of the Treasury. The pilot ECM project will address the critical and urgent 

business needs of the Office of Foreign Asset Control (OFAC) and the Financial Crimes 

Enforcement Network (FinCEN), both of which are struggling under an increasingly 

burdensome paper-based system of operations. This approach to ECM will minimize 

duplication of effort and infrastructure investments by capitalizing on Department and 

government-wide efforts. By the end of FY 2008, the Treasury Department will have 

significantly improved the workflow processes for both OFAC and FinCEN, as well as 

positioned the Department for a full transition to a Department-wide ECM solution. 

Cyber Security – CIP Cyber Security – Critical Infrastructure Protection funds will be 

used to update the Treasury Department’s Critical Infrastructure / Key Resources 

(CI/KR) list and to further protect CI/KR systems against possible terrorist attack. CIP 

will meet the Treasury Computer Security Incident Response Center (TCSIRC) reporting 

requirements for DHS. 

Cyber Security – Information Security Through this program, the Treasury Department 

will have greater protection against network intrusions, which can result in significant 

disruptions and delays in its business activities. Funding in this area will also support 

reviews of selected bureau security programs. 

E-Government Enterprise Architecture Enterprise Architecture (EA) provides the 

Treasury Department visibility to its lower level information technology systems. This 

will allow for the collection of system architecture information into a central database, 

which will be used to identify areas for improved systems efficiency and effectiveness. 

DSCIP - 10 
E-Government Initiatives The Treasury Department funds 12 of the 25 E-Government

initiatives and six of the nine E-Government Lines of Business, which includes funding 

from the DSCIP account. More information on the benefits of each E-Government 

initiative can be found in the E-Government chapter of this Budget request. Overall, 

funding for the E-Government initiative will allow the Treasury Department to execute 

all required memoranda of understanding with Presidential E-Government Managing 

Partners. 

Integrated Wireless Network The Integrated Wireless Network effort will result in the 

purchase and technical refresh of equipment needed to support law enforcement 

personnel. By the end of FY 2008, the Treasury Department will have a greater ability to 

ensure the safety of law enforcement officers and improve its investigative, surveillance, 

and physical security capabilities. 

Treasury Back-up Disaster Recovery Back-up Disaster Recovery activities will allow the 

Treasury Department to conduct server structure and storage area network upgrades that 

will better protect data that is critical to senior level administration and Treasury 

Department officials in the event of an emergency. 

Treasury Secure Data Network Funding for the continued improvement of the Treasury 

Secure Data Network (TSDN) operating system and hardware components will assure 

continued functionality throughout FY 2008. As a consequence, the Treasury 

Department will continue to have reliable access to the SIPRNET and the Department of 

Defense classified communications network, which will ensure ongoing communications 

with officials in law enforcement as well as the Departments of Defense and State. 

DSCIP - 11 
Section 4 – Supporting Materials 

4B – Information Technology Strategy 

DSCIP supports a broad range of IT programs and initiatives which are critical to 

improving the Treasury Department’s IT security capabilities, protecting its critical 

infrastructure, maturing the Department of the Treasury’s enterprise architecture (EA), 

and achieving enterprise-wide benefits through E-Government and other Departmentwide initiatives. These program areas are aligned with and support OCIO and 

Departmental IT strategic goals and objectives. In particular, these efforts play an 

important role in helping the Treasury Department improve its performance on PMA 

requirements for expanding E-Government. While the Department of the Treasury 

initially was designated as “Red” for its E-Government PMA status, the Treasury 

Department has made significant progress over the past two years and achieved an 

upgrade to “Yellow” status in FY 2006. 

The Treasury Department’s work to improve its E-Government PMA status continues to 

be a top priority. Improving the Department of the Treasury’s PMA performance 

requires a concerted effort across the Treasury Department to strengthen multiple 

program areas such as EA, Capital Planning, and Cyber Security. These initiatives 

support the Treasury Department’s focus on business and technical modernization, 

strengthening its IT security posture, ensuring a resilient IT environment, and migrating 

to common solutions as appropriate. Performance and success for these initiatives is 

measured by the Treasury Department’s E-Government PMA score, as well as the 

Department’s EA maturity score from OMB, status against Federal Information Security 

Management Act metrics, compliance with OMB direction and guidance regarding 

consolidating and leveraging existing capabilities and investments, and meeting projectspecific cost, schedule, and performance goals.
