The Bureau of Information Resource Management (IRM), headed by Chief Information Officer Stuart McGuigan, empowers the Department to achieve its foreign policy mission by providing modern, secure, and resilient information technology and services. Rapid changes in technology are transforming how our diplomats advance U.S. foreign policy by altering the way we connect with others and communicate information. Our diplomats require powerful new technologies to advocate policy positions, promote awareness, and enhance transparency – that’s where IRM comes in.
