Your faux auditors may be a RPITA, but a *qualified* auditor is a joy forever, should you be so fortunate as to be audited by one. They will find things that actually do need fixing, and will make it easier to get management buy-in for what needs to be done.

In my case that is true, the Auditor works for another Health care company, their parent company are HITRUST Cert Auditors, so these folks are not true auditors, they are hired to guarantee HITRUST certification. they do not know what an emulator is or have the need or desire to logon and gather the requirements they request, so anything can be spoofed ! I remember the auditors from the 70's and 80's when I worked for Sears, they came to the data center with their object deck and ran their programs to check and audit our systems, the knew the mainframe because most of these guys were SYSPROGS at one time Carmen Vitullo -----Original Message----- From: Radoslaw <[email protected]> To: IBM-MAIN <[email protected]> Date: Monday, 22 February 2021 5:45 PM CST Subject: Re: Are these auditors competent? was Re: Anyway to save ISRDDN output?

No! No, and no! You assumed the auditor know the details and understand what emulator is. That's plain wrong. I learnt many years ago such auditors are uneducated, but they mask their ignorancy with some mask. This is complex topic, I cannot describe it clearly in English. -- Radoslaw Skorupka (looking for new job) Lodz, Poland ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
