All federal government agencies must submit a list of systems, vulnerabilities and configurations to the Department of Homeland Security every 30 days, but it does not appear that the State Department submitted any information regarding Hillary Clinton's personal server during her tenure as secretary of state.
According to FoxNews.com, DHS performs a "cyberscope audit" on the systems that government agencies are legally required to disclose to their office in order to ensure their security. This practice has been in place since 2010, and Clinton served as secretary of state from 2009-2013.

A Freedom of Information Act request submitted by FoxNews.com revealed that Clinton's server was not disclosed to DHS, and it is not clear if State Department officials who were in charge of DHS audits knew that such a server existed.
"Unfortunately, we were unable to locate or identify any responsive records," Sandy Ford Page, chief of Freedom of Information Act operations for DHS, told FoxNew.com in response to their request.
Tech firm Platte River Networks managed the server Clinton, the Democratic frontrunner for the 2016 presidency, shared with her husband, former President Bill Clinton. The Denver-based company is not included on a list of approved contractors by the Pentagon's Defense Security Service, the federal agency that is in charge of approving private contractors.
"As Platte River Networks is not a cleared facility under the National Industrial Security Program, DSS has no cognizance over the facility and cannot comment further," a Defense Security Service spokesperson told FoxNews.com.
While Clinton has maintained that she did not send or receive any classified information from her private server while serving as secretary of state, a recent Reuters report suggests otherwise.
According to Reuters, while the State Department has claimed the "classified" labels have only recently been applied to Clinton's emails, some of the details included in dozens of emails were automatically classified — whether it had a special label or not.
