UCF Quarterly release for Q4 08

Hello!

Welcome to the Q4 08 release notes for the Unified Compliance Framework.

We've done a lot of work this quarter. The UCF team reviewed a total of 34 authority documents with 1813 unique citations. The result: the Q4 08 Unified Compliance Framework includes 640 updated and 25 new controls.

We also determined that systems hardening and configuration management included enough controls as to merit their own impact zone, separated from operational management. UCF customers with an Operational Management subscription will receive the newly created Configuration Management spreadsheet for the remainder of your subscription.

In short, one heck of a lot of work!

We welcome your feedback and appreciate your business.

Warm regards,

Dorian Cougias, Marcelo Halpern, and the rest of the UCF team
