The Office of the Chief Information Officer (OCIO) recently installed an improved INTERNET monitoring system.

SBA SOP 90 47 1, Automated Information Systems Security Program, permits access to INTERNET sites which contain material related to official Agency business. SBA’s policy also permits access to non business-related sites that are not in violation of SBA’s Limited Personal Use policy. As with other SBA resources, you are allowed limited personal use of SBA’s Internet services. However, this personal use should be of short duration, not adversely affect or hinder the mission of the Agency, and no fee may be charged to SBA. Supervisors have management authority and the responsibility to ensure that you appropriately use your official time and resources.

The new monitor will be transparent to most users. However, if a request is made for a web page that is in violation of SBA policy, users will see a page stating “Requested Page is Unavailable.” The page contains a button for viewing the filtering policy and definitions for blocked sites. If you still feel that the site you are trying to reach is not in violation of SBA policy, you can select the Request Site Review button, provide the necessary information, and request to have this site researched and a determination made regarding access.

If you have any questions or require additional information, please contact Lewis Baskerville at 401-1980 or send an e-mail to the Security Staff mailbox at IT Security in Microsoft Outlook.
