Information Technology Policies, Standards and Procedures

Information Technology (IT) Policies, Standards, and Procedures are based on ADOA-ASET strategies and frameworks. They provide a comprehensive framework of business principles, best practices, technical standards, migration, and implementation strategies that direct the design, deployment, and management of IT for the State of Arizona.

Please note that the P8000: Information Security Policies, Standards and Procedures have been moved to the new Department of Homeland Security Information Technology (IT) Policies, Standards, and Procedures webpage.

A PSP Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) document is now available. If additional information is needed, please reach out to [email protected].

Please note the Category and Status filters below. The Category filter allows the user to view only one category of PSPs at a time if desired. The Status filter allows the user to view PSPs that are either "In Force" or "Open for Comment Until". "Open for Comment Until" shows PSPs in draft form that are open for a two-week period to receive feedback prior to being approved and published as "In Force."
