| Security of Sensitive Information | |||||||||||||||||||||
| A multi-agency working group has formed to recommend an Ohio administrative rule that would set standards for the protection of sensitive data that state agencies hold.

| Publication of Office of Information Technology Enterprise Procedures | |||||||||||||||||||||
| Various OIT programs create procedures for customer agencies to use when they obtain an OIT service. This project entails creating for these procedures a standard format, a catalog, and a central Web page where the procedures can be found. Although each OIT program area will still develop the content of their procedures, OIT's customer agencies will have a one-stop shop to find procedures. | |||||||||||||||||||||
