Remediation - Manual Procedure

The IAO will ensure that update and allocate/create access to program product data sets is limited to System Programmers only, and all update and allocate/create access is logged.  Security Personnel and Auditors should have read access.

The installing Systems Programmer will identify and document the product data sets and categorize them according to who will have update and allocate/create access and if required that all update and allocate/create access is logged. He will identify if any additional groups have update access for specific data sets, and once documented he will work with the IAO to see that they are properly restricted to the ACP (Access Control Program ) active on the system.

Data sets to be protected will be: 
SYS2.ROSCOE
