After a quick scan, this seems to be new detail about the process...unless it was in previous filings that went unseen. Couple this info with the previous info from the last filing, "The application process for Fed/State elections takes 6 months" and we see where they are to accomplish certification.
The document today shows they are living up to their plan (spelled out a few months ago) to remain current with their filings.
From note/page 23 in today's filing:
"GES has begun undertaking the following six step benchmarks to qualify for the updated U.S. certification and is also considering individual State certifications;
Step 1 - Voting System Testing, Testing current developed systems to U.S. Federal 2.0 Standards
Step 2 - Technical Data Package Review; Reviews submitted documents against documentation requirements of outside agencies, published standards, or U.S. specifications
Step 3 - Physical Configuration Audit; Examines the documentation of the system against the actual submitted system
Step 4 - System Integration Testing; Executes tests on all components of a system configured as if the system was deployed
Step 5 - Functional Configuration Audit; Examines submitted test data and conducts additional testing to verify submitted system hardware and software described in the documents submitted to the Elections Assistance Commission and the Department of Homeland Security
Step 6 - Security Testing; Performs vulnerability assessments and penetration analysis to assess system vulnerabilities"
All good stuff.....Let's Go Gahc!!!!
