ALBANY – The state comptroller’s office was highly critical of the Onteora Central School District’s information technology policies, or lack thereof.
The audit was conducted for the period of July 1, 2013 through November 5, 2014.
The report said the school board did not establish an acceptable use policy, a computer security plan, a disaster recovery plan, policies and procedures for the disposal of computer equipment or a policy for security awareness training.
Key recommendations of the Albany report include adopting policies and procedures related to computer security, disaster recovery and disposal of computer equipment and ensure that all network users receive security training.
The auditors said the district should establish a written agreement with BOCES that states the district’s needs and expectations and specifies the level of service to be provided by the network support specialist. They also said the district should establish a comprehensive inventory policy and maintain up-to-date inventory records.
