The department requests each agency to complete implementation of an information resources security program consistent with these standards on or before September 1, 1997 in accordance with the implementation schedule of subsection 12. Beginning with the agency information resources strategic plan to be submitted on January 1, 1993, agencies shall include in each biennial strategic plan for information resources an overview of their current information security posture and their future plans for completing development of a security program, consistent with these standards and implementation schedule, over each current strategic planning cycle. To assist in the interpretation and implementation of these standards, the department has developed the Information Resources Security and Risk Management Policy, Standards and Guidelines manual which is available on request from the Department of Information Resources, P.O.
