Did you see this? - Georgia requires security metric reporting

I saw this news release recently and wondered what standard metrics Georgia government agencies will be reporting and how they will be gathering the information. Are there any Georgia readers out there? How are you addressing this activity for your agency?

Gov. Perdue Signs Executive Order Strengthening Georgia’s Information Technology Security

Mar 20, 2008, News Report

Gov. Perdue today signed an executive order to protect state data by standardizing information security reporting.

“This executive order is a critical part of the larger plan I announced in December 2007 to transform the state’s technology and shore up the underpinnings we found lacking,” said Governor Sonny Perdue.  “As I stated then, technology is the foundation of a well-run, modern-day enterprise.  This action will go a long way toward addressing our security gaps and giving the state the secure IT infrastructure it requires to responsibly serve Georgia’s citizens.”
