IT Baseline Protection Manual - Chapter 5.4 DOS PC (multiuser)
5.4 DOS PC (multiuser)
Description
The subject here is a commercially available IBM-compatible
PC run with DOS or a comparable operating
system. This PC is not connected to a network. It is
equipped with a floppy disk drive, a hard disk and a mouse.
If available, a printer is to be directly connected to the PC.
A graphic user interface can also be employed here. It is
assumed that several persons use this PC, these having
differing access rights to the stored data. It is also assumed
that changes in users of the PC do not occur on a frequent basis.
In the event that the user is changed on a frequent basis, alternative security solutions should be
considered, such as purchasing additional PCs or even setting up a local network with a possible
common data base for reasons of performance and acceptance.
