SPS is the front-end system to a larger payment system.� SPS allows personnel at FPA locations to submit payment information to the Fiscal Service using an internet-accessible system. Payment schedules are streamed to the Fiscal Service�s payment system for processing. On an annual basis, the Fiscal Service generates over 950 million payments. SPS is considered Critical infrastructure (CI) � a part of �systems and assets, whether physical or virtual, so vital to the United States, the incapacity or destruction of such systems and assets would have a debilitating impact on security, national economic security, national public health or safety, or any combination of those matters.�� If SPS is unavailable or compromised, economic stability could be impacted potentially affecting millions of citizens and the national economy. Based on NIST Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) Publication 199, SPS is rated HIGH. This publication establishes security categories for information systems. The security categories are based on the potential impact on the Fiscal Service should certain events occur which jeopardize SPS to accomplish its assigned mission, protect its assets, fulfill its legal responsibilities, and maintain its day-to-day functions.
