The DOD Office of Inspector General found evidence that outgoing DDS Director Brett Goldstein also encouraged subordinates to use the encrypted messaging app.
The Defense Department’s internal watchdog concluded the outgoing director of the Defense Digital Service used an encrypted messaging app not approved by the Pentagon to conduct official business.
The DOD Office of Inspector General concluded in a report released Monday DDS Director Brett Goldstein, who is set to step down at the end of the month after a two-year term, violated DOD policy by using and encouraging subordinates to use Signal, an encrypted messaging and voice calling platform. While Goldstein tried to get Signal approved for use, investigators found no evidence that he was successful in doing so.

Investigators at the Office of Inspector General at the Department of Defense did not find evidence to substantiate allegations of workplace bullying on the part of outgoing Defense Digital Service Director Brett Goldstein.
Between March and June of last year, the DOD hotline received 30 complaints against Goldstein, who became director in 2019 and is set to depart this month. The OIG s findings were presented in a report dated June 21.
The IG found that Goldstein used and condoned the unauthorized use of Signal, an encrypted messaging and voice call app. Goldstein gave out his Signal phone number in emails and on Slack. He confirmed to investigators that he used the app and was working with DOD s CIO and the general counsel at DDS to get Signal approved for some DOD components. Current DOD policy puts most non-official electronic messaging accounts off-limits for official DOD communication.
