Summary:

Terrorist attacks against U.S. diplomats and personnel overseas have underscored the need to protect U.S. people, property, and information. The State Department has taken steps to improve diplomatic security, such as building more secure embassies and requiring counter threat training for personnel.

We identified 11 key diplomatic security issues for congressional oversight—highlighting numerous challenges from our prior reports. For example, we found many diplomatic residences that didn't meet security standards. As of August 14, 2017, 24 of our 27 open priority recommendations for State are related to diplomatic security.
