Description
The system-wide options control the default settings for determining how the ACP will function when handling requests for access to the operating system environment, ACP, and customer data. The ACP provides the ability to set a number of these fields at the subsystem level. If no setting is found, the system-wide defaults will be used. The improper setting of any one of these fields, individually or in combination with another, can compromise the security of the processing environment. In addition, failure to establish standardized settings for the ACP control options introduces the possibility of exposure during a migration process or contingency plan activation.

Fix Text (F-16546r1_fix)
The IAO will ensure that the SECVOLS GSO value is set to VOLMASK(). Any local changes are justified and documented with the IAO. Defines those DASD, mass storage, and tape volumes for which ACF2 is to provide volume level protection. Ensure the GSO SECVOLS record values conform to the following requirements. VOLMASK() Example: SET C(GSO) INSERT SECVOLS VOLMASK() F ACF2,REFRESH(SECVOLS) NOTE: Local changes will be justified in writing with supporting documentation.
