Chad, This is an excellent idea, and in keeping with what research facilities have to do under gov't contract. I assume you are using the NIST framework? James A.St.Clair, CISM Sr. Manager Global Public Sector Grant Thornton LLP (703) 637-3078 (office) (703) 727-6332 (mobile) (703) 837-4455 (fax) -----Original Message----- From: Chad McDonald [mailto:chad.mcdonald () GCSU EDU] Sent: Tuesday, September 04, 2007 10:13 AM To: SECURITY () LISTSERV EDUCAUSE EDU Subject: Pre Production System Accreditation I have proposed that GCSU develop a policy that would require that a server or system be accredited prior to moving that system into production. The accreditation process among other things would verify that the system's security has been reviewed before potentially sensitive information is stored on or travels through that system. I originally thought that this would blow through the policy approval process with flying colors, but unfortunately I'm being blocked by my own department's system administrators. Am I completely off base with this recommendation?
