DHS/USCIS/PIA-080 Enterprise Gateway and Integration Service

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) is migrating its information technology systems to the cloud environment to align with the Cloud Smart initiative. To support this modernization effort, USCIS launched the Enterprise Gateway and Integration Services (EGIS) to connect and share data from different systems. The Enterprise Gateway and Integration Services acts as a conduit for the exchange of information between systems within USCIS, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), external government agencies, and authorized third parties. USCIS is updating this Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) to (1) account for 15 Enterprise Gateway and Integration Services system functionalities being deployed to support modernization of USCIS internal processes and workflows, and (2) expand the documented internal and external information sharing activities as all current information sharing activities supported by the Enterprise Service Bus 2 (ESB 2) which will continue to be supported by Enterprise Gateway and Integration Services as the Enterprise Service Bus 2 applications and services are transitioned. While all new functionalities have been documented in this Privacy Impact Assessment update, not all the system changes involve the collection, use, storage, or transmission of personally identifiable information.
