The Department should take several steps
to better oversee the information systems for which it is responsible.
Specifically, the Department needs to improve its information security
procedures and request that the Legislature give it authority to enforce
minimum-security requirements that state agencies must follow related to the
State’s new state-wide voice and data network called AZNET. Additionally,
the Department’s Telecommunications Program Office needs to oversee the
inventory of telecommunications equipment and ensure the contractor develops
an appropriate security plan for AZNET. Finally, the contractor that is
providing telecommunications services to all state agencies will use a new
billing system, but agency spending for these services will be held at
fiscal year 2004 estimated amounts until fiscal year 2008 when the
contractor’s prices will go into effect.
