CHESTER – Officials in the Chester Union Free School District did not adequately manage and monitor network user accounts, an audit by the State Comptroller’s Office found.
The study said the district should have disabled unneeded network user accounts when there was no longer a need for them and should have monitored network user compliance with the district’s computer acceptable user policy by reviewing computer website history logs for appropriateness.
Sensitive information technology control weaknesses were also communicated confidentially to officials.
The audit recommended that the district routinely evaluate and disable any unneeded network user accounts and monitor internet use to ensure network users comply with the district’s acceptable user policy.
District officials agreed with the recommendations and have initiated or indicated they planned to initiate corrective action.
