Re: Audit

Hi Rob
I used to work for a bank so we went through one of these at least once
every four months. A real pain in the @#$
However, to answer your question (at least I think you are asking a
question)
You are saying that there is no twinax that leaves the locked door
Well what about a disgruntled employee?
They can sign on cant they?
Ever heard of the phrase "Must have been an inside job"
All your other questions that the auditors seem not to be asking should be
a concern for you.
It might also be a test by the auditors. If you (the company) are not
asking the auditors these questions, the auditors may be thinking that the
security of the box may be a concern.

Good luck with the audit

Boss is asking me to gather data for an IT audit. You know, I would be
hard pressed to find a worse waste of time. As usual, they want the list

of system values. I am sure that is so they can consider it a ding if we

allow a user to have more than one session. Doesn't matter if they can

go

to 30 PC's and fire up browsers and look at the data but two 5250

sessions

is a concern.
Then they have the usual commands they want to be secured: STRSEU,

UPDDTA

that sort of rot. Of course WRKQRY, RUNQRY QRYFILE..., STRSQL, EDTF are
not in the list. And no mention of WDSC, etc.
And, why be concerned about the special authority of *ALLOBJ when they
don't check one file at all to see if you are using resource security?
Does it matter if no one has *ALLOBJ yet *public has *all authority to

the

list of social security numbers and everyone has iSeries Access (or ftp,
or ...)?
Gee, why don't we tell them that there is no twinax that leaves the

locked

door? Based on the above wouldn't that then constitute a secured system?
