The audit reveals that CISA is rated highly for protecting election infrastructure but has scaled back its disinformation efforts due to evolving responsibilities and external lawsuits.
Auditors pointed out that CISA ceased communication with social media companies regarding disinformation and mentioned that changes were made based on the evolution of the agency's mission.
Despite previous audits calling for updated guidelines, DHS has failed to revise critical plans that would include specific goals for safely securing election infrastructure.
The lack of strategic guidance from DHS has been linked to CISA's reduced engagement in combating disinformation during the current election cycle.
