Checklist Summary

This SRR Review Procedures, OS/390 Resource Access Control Facility (RACF) document provides the procedures for conducting a Security Readiness Review (SRR) to determine compliance with the requirements in the OS/390 Security Technical Implementation Guides (STIG). This checklist must be used together with the corresponding version of the STIG document. This SRR guide focuses strictly on the IBM OS/390 operating system (OS) and how the RACF security component interacts with the operating system. Additionally, this checklist ensures the site has properly installed and implemented the RACF component for the IBM OS/390 OS and that it is being managed in a way that is secure, efficient, and effective, through procedures outlined in the checklist. The items reviewed are based on standards and requirements published by DISA in the OS/390 Security Technical Implementation Guide.
