Under our contracts, the Government retains ownership of any data entered into information systems used in the performance of a government contract.

By using this system, you agree to the following Rules of Behavior

• Only use data for which you have been granted authorization.
• Do not retrieve information for someone who does not have authority to access the information, only give information to personnel who have access authority and have a need to know for their federal jobs.
• Do not access, research, or change any user account, file, directory, table, or record not required to perform your OFFICIAL duties.
• Do not store sensitive files on a PC hard drive if access to the PC or files cannot be physically or technically limited.
• Behave in an ethical, technically proficient, informed, and trustworthy manner.
• Logout of the system whenever you leave the vicinity of your PC.
• Be aware of the sensitivity of electronic and hardcopy information and protect it accordingly.
• Do not allow confidential information to remain on the PC screen when someone who is not authorized to that data is in the vicinity.
• Store hardcopy reports/storage media containing confidential information in a locked room or cabinet.
• Erase sensitive data on storage media, prior to reusing or disposing of the media.
• Protect your system against viruses and similar malicious programs.
• Observe all software license agreements. Do not violate Federal copyright laws.
• Protect your password(s) from disclosure. You are responsible for any information system activity associated with your user ID and password.
• Do not share your password with others or reveal it to anyone. If there is an operational need to do so, immediately change the password after the need has passed.
• Do not post your password in your work area or hard code it into script.
• Do not use another person’s user ID and password.
• Change your password if you think your password is known by an unauthorized individual and immediately notify your Information System Security Officer (ISSO).
• Use unique passwords for each system and application you access.
• NEVER give your password out over the phone.
• Be alert to others who may try to obtain your password. Sometimes hackers pose as a system administrator. A hacker may randomly call a user and say that something is wrong on the system to get arbitrary access to your system. They may tell you that they need your password in order to issue you a new one. Always remember that system administrators DO NOT need your password in order to issue you a new password.
• Do not write down your password(s). Memorize them using easy to remember phrases.
• Do not recycle passwords by using a few of them over and over in turn, or by making minor changes to passwords by adding a number to the base password (e.g., password changed to password1, password1 changed to password2).
• Contact and inform your ISSO that you have identified an IT security incident.
• NEVER assume that someone else has already reported an incident. The risk of an incident going unreported far outweighs the possibility that an incident gets reported more than once.
