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
