Companies with DoD government contracts must utilize computer systems that can 
pass Risk Management Framework (RMF) standards. Scripts have been written to 
test Windows and Linux operating systems but I know of none that have been 
written to test zVM or its predecessor VM/ESA. It probably doesn't matter as 
I'm pretty sure that if the standards are the same as for the other two OSes, 
zVM wouldn't pass anyway, at least not on its own.

What are some of these standards? Password lengths 14 or more characters, virus 
detection software installed and operational, file level security, etc. In 
other words, everything a Windows 10 or RHEL 6.8 system can handle. Does anyone 
here in IBM land running zVM or its predecessor support systems that can handle 
RMF standards? If so, what did it take to get them approved?

Thanks in advance and sorry if this question has been asked recently.

Karl
