What does the E-Government Act of 2002 accomplish?

• A. Capital planning and investment control for information technology
• B. Development of enterprise architectures (FEA)
• C. Information Security (Title III) – FISMA
• D. All of the above

Answer: (D)

The E-Government Act of 2002 broadens federal IT governance by tying together planning, architecture, and security in a single framework. It requires capital planning and investment control for information technology, ensuring that IT investments are justified, funded wisely, and managed to deliver real value. It also directs agencies to develop and maintain a Federal Enterprise Architecture to create a common blueprint across the government, improving interoperability and reducing duplication. In addition, it strengthens information security under FISMA (Title III), establishing risk management processes, certification and accreditation, and ongoing security controls and oversight. Because the act addresses all three areas, the option that covers the complete scope is the best answer.
