Commission approves updated Barry County IT security policy
Summary
Barry County commissioners voted to adopt a stricter information-technology security policy, including a 14-character minimum password standard. The measure passed on a roll call after a brief discussion and will be implemented countywide.
The Barry County Board voted to adopt an updated information-technology security policy, approving a new countywide standard that sets a 14-character minimum for passwords and standardizes other security requirements across departments. The Chair moved the action and the roll call showed the motion carried; Commissioner Jackson was recorded absent.
IT staff explained the policy focuses on electronic storage and network transport and said departmental policies will govern handling of physical paper files. As the staff member put it during the meeting, "We provide the storage. We back up the, documents and maintain the copies of those things so that they're functional and working." The commission directed staff and departments to coordinate implementation.
