Efficient management of web resources. |
This is achieved through several methods. First, USAID has a standard hosting platform that web resources are being migrated
to, Drupal on LAMP servers. By having a consistent platform, the Agency can better manage, train on, and update web-based
resources. Second, USAID has a dedicated team of web developers and designers. This ensures consistency in the design, creation,
and implementation of web resources. Third, the hosting platforms are supported
and maintained by the Agency's Operations & Maintenance (O&M) staff. Using a well-managed change control process,
the O&M team ensures that all changes to Agency platforms are thoroughly reviewed, tested, and documented prior to being made,
which helps to ensure a common, consistent environment. Fourth, USAID's Information Security team (CISO) performs regular
scans of all Agency servers and websites. These scans help to ensure that web resources are managed
in a secure manner. Lastly, USAID has policy documents and web-based resources that outline the standards and regulations
that all USAID websites are required to follow.
