Simple Distribution PDS
Simple Distribution PDSs are afforded a reduced level of physical security protection as compared to a Hardened Distribution PDS. They use a Simple Carrier System (SCS) and the following means are acceptable under NSTISSI 7003:
- The data cables should be installed in a carrier
- The carrier can be constructed of any material (e.g., wood, PVT, EMT, ferrous conduit)
- The joints and access points should be secured and be controlled by personnel cleared to the highest level of data handled by the PDS
- The carrier is to be inspected in accordance with the requirements of NSTISSI 7003

Famous quotes containing the words simple and/or distribution:
“Truth is used to vitalize a statement rather than devitalize it. Truth implies more than a simple statement of fact. “I don’t have any whisky,” may be a fact but it is not a truth.”
—William Burroughs (b. 1914)
“My topic for Army reunions ... this summer: How to prepare for war in time of peace. Not by fortifications, by navies, or by standing armies. But by policies which will add to the happiness and the comfort of all our people and which will tend to the distribution of intelligence [and] wealth equally among all. Our strength is a contented and intelligent community.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
