Simple Distribution PDS
Simple Distribution PDSs are afforded a reduced level of physical security protection as compared to a Hardened Distribution PDS. They use a Simple Carrier System (SCS) and the following means are acceptable under NSTISSI 7003:
- The data cables should be installed in a carrier
- The carrier can be constructed of any material (e.g., wood, PVT, EMT, ferrous conduit)
- The joints and access points should be secured and be controlled by personnel cleared to the highest level of data handled by the PDS
- The carrier is to be inspected in accordance with the requirements of NSTISSI 7003
