The staffing and funding of IT systems are critical to effective management and security.

IT systems must have an appropriate level of staff, now and in the future, to ensure systems are managed in accordance with their security requirements.

IT systems must also have appropriate funding in place to ensure ongoing support and maintenance. In addition, the appropriate budget must be in place to perform a technology refresh prior to hardware or software entering a deprecated state.

For endpoints, this standard is met by utilizing the Yale Managed Workstation service. For unmanaged endpoints containing Yale Data, a plan must be in place to designate staffing and funding to meet and maintain the Minimum Security Standards.
