The Ohio Office of Information Technology recently issued new state IT policies that address portable computing security; the disposal, service and transfer of IT equipment; and the registration of Internet domain names. The three policies were developed following a collaborative process and sent to agency CIOs for comment prior to being released. In brief, IT concerns covered by the policies are as follows: |
| Portable Computing Security (ITP-B.9) -- addresses the security of portable computing devices and includes provisions for their use, management and control. The policy includes the security of the physical device itself as well as its applications and data. The policy also addresses the use of privately owned devices by employees and contractors. |
| Disposal, Servicing and Transfer of IT Equipment (ITP-E.1) -- prescribes requirements to mitigate risks associated with the disposal, servicing and transfer of IT equipment. |
| Registration of Internet Domain Names (ITP-F.1) -- includes provisions for a common, consistent statewide approach to Web site domain names. The policy includes provisions for obtaining and safeguarding Internet domain names by establishing naming requirements and a central registration and tracking process. Requirements of the U.S. General Services Administration concerning the use of the .gov domain also are covered. |
