Protective Distribution System - Simple Distribution PDS

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:

  1. The data cables should be installed in a carrier
  2. The carrier can be constructed of any material (e.g., wood, PVT, EMT, ferrous conduit)
  3. The joints and access points should be secured and be controlled by personnel cleared to the highest level of data handled by the PDS
  4. The carrier is to be inspected in accordance with the requirements of NSTISSI 7003

Famous quotes containing the words simple and/or distribution:

    And would you be a poet
    Before you’ve been to school?
    Ah, well! I hardly thought you
    So absolute a fool.
    First learn to be spasmodic—
    A very simple rule.
    For first you write a sentence,
    And then you chop it small;
    Then mix the bits, and sort them out
    Just as they chance to fall:
    The order of the phrases makes
    No difference at all.
    Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)

    There is the illusion of time, which is very deep; who has disposed of it? Mor come to the conviction that what seems the succession of thought is only the distribution of wholes into causal series.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
