Our audit did focus on the physical security, knowing that it indeed does work in tandem with operational security and intelligence to make up the entire security posture of a mission abroad. We focused in on physical security because Global Affairs had received substantial funding to upgrade its physical security at missions abroad, and in 2017 it received another $1.8 billion to upgrade its physical security at missions abroad.
We wanted to understand how well it had worked over the past decade to upgrade its security and what needed to be done to ensure success for the next tranche of funding. We focused in on what was the physical security in place at its missions and then to understand why what improvements needed to be made for the next tranche of funding.
