Re: Oracle Standard Operating Environment

Sounds like a fancy new term for SOP.

In my opinion, the director of security should be responsible for 
mandating and enforcing a corporate policy to the effect that DBAs should 
be adequately trained in database security and that industry "best 
practices" are being followed. Beyond that, you could work with your 
in-house database architect to develop a standard operating procedure, or 
contact Oracle and ask for SOP templates that could be adapted to suit 
your needs.

Oracle Standard Operating Environment






Please bear with me ? I am not really sure where to post this.

I am the security director for my company.  I have been asked to develop a 
standard operating environment document for our DBA team.  Currently they 
are doing everything differently depending upon which DBA builds the 
server.

My expertise in Oracle is limited at best.  I have searched and searched 
and either I am using the wrong phrase (standard operating environment, 
SOE) or nothing exists on line.  Can anybody provide some pointers or if 
possible a sanitized SOE document from your organization.

Bear in mind this is not an audit or assessment ? what I need is a 
template that says ? do this, then do this, then do that, etc.

Thanks in advance
